[FriBidi] embedded levels of a string with parenthesis

[Samiullah Khawaja]

Agreed about the standard part but I have to make sure my text gets
rendered correctly. so:

Currently it is:

R N EOR -> R e EOR

What if I change it to:

R N EOR -> R R EOR  (this looks correct to me). Is there any reason for not
doing this? Will this give me any further issue or will it cleanly solve my
problem? Comments?

Thanks.
