I've written an editor macro that runs right to left
(right justified) when I worked for a company with
an Israeli division. But the language was TPU and
editor/screen oriented rather than file/line/byte

If you have 1:1 alpha character matching, reversal
should work. But diphthong characters like "th" need to be
collapsed into a single character for it to work.
