Re: problems with Arabic joining rules

   R3: join causing -> left-join causing

   R4: join causing -> right-join causing (first instance)
        join causing -> left-join causing (second instance)

Are you sure that this is the right fix? A right join-causing
character on the right *inhibits* joining to the left! I'd rather
expect a `left join-causing character on the right' etc. Otherwise,
this rule says that the medial form should be used if the left and
right characters are either TATWEEL or don't join to the character at
all...
