Description
Changing the text direction in a comment without resetting it, may cause differences between the shown and the actual code. (See https://is.gd/35PEW4 for an trivial example.)
This may only apply to a single line, depending on the editor.
Contributor guide
First steps

- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start with the linked trivial example to reproduce the visual-versus-actual-code problem and determine how unmatched markers behave across a line. Done means Clippy detects and denies unmatched left-to-right/right-to-left markers, embeddings, and overrides; the issue names no file or test, so locating the lint entry point is part of the work.
