[XeTeX] \pardir with XeTeX

Hi

We received an email from a user saying that  he expects \pardir to work
with bidi package because it works with context in xetex. Not sure why it
works in context (perhaps context defines \pardir) but if it is really
needed, it can also be defined in bidi package too:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{bidi}

\makeatletter
\bidi at newrobustcmd*{\pardir}[3]{%
\if#2R
  \@RTLtrue
\else
    \if#2L
      \@RTLfalse
    \else
      \PackageError{bidi}%
      {Invalid argument `#1#2#3' for \string\pardir}%
      \@ehc
    \fi
\fi}

\makeatother
\begin{document}
\pardir TRT
\lipsum[1]
\end{document}


However we do not see the point of existence of such macro.
