After the last patch, I've made a spreadsheet to record my progress and reasoning on whether or not to preserve isDirectionality at each call to VisibleSelection's constructors. It is here: https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhuT3gDPvJi6dGgxSzJnelFBMXg4cUE3VkxRVTVzdFE&hl=en_US

The gist of the chart is: should this call preserve isDirectionality, why, and then info about the call (which is shown as it was written in my most recent patch here)

After going through all of the constructor uses and removing the isDirectionality preservation where it did not seem to make sense, several bugs appeared, so it is clear that my reasoning for not preserving isDirectionality is flawed in at least some cases.

Feel free to change the font on the spreadsheet; courier-new seemed to be the most readable, which isn't saying much :P
