is composed of right-to-left characters and in minimizing mixed
directionality text in right-to-left documents.

This updated fixes some limitations of the previous version.

* Cascaded use of collectcell
* The argument of collectcell can now consist of multiple tokens
* Material inside <{} before endcollectcell is now also collected if it is part of the last column
* An almost-verbatim version of verb is provided (uses the version of the 'tabularx' package)
* supports 'tabular', 'tabularx', 'array' as well as 'tabularx' in the LaTeX or TeX syntaxes as well as in csname ... endcsname (except 'tabularx' which doesn't support this by itself).
And some more smaller features. See the manual for details.
