I did (long ago) suggest to the UTC, in a beta comment for 5.0 IIRC,
that they be mirrored. However, the UTC decided to mirror quote marks
instead. The latter I did NOT suggest, and that change was a really bad
move, and has since been backed on. However, I still think the ornate
parentheses should be mirrored, especially if they are used both in
LTR and RTL texts rather than only in RTL texts.
