Yes.  I will make the necessary changes, probably next week, to drop
the private copy in biditype.h and use the tables from uni-bidi.el via
the APIs defined on chartab.c.

It should use the uniprop tables, as described in the commentary
before uniprop_table_uncompress (in chartab.c).  Those tables are
populated by loading uni-*.el as needed.
