if we need pango-sharp to change, we can change it, although another
solution might be to implement the fix as part of GtkSourceView as I
know they want a fix for this as well.

Miguel and I had looked into doing it in C - and as Miguel said, there
was no way to override the default script_break() (to my recollection)
because pango_break() needs an 'analysis' argument from pango_itemize()
which is what attaches a PangoEngineLang object, and there are no hooks
to allow you to specify which PangoEngineLang (class/subclass) gets
used, so there's no way to ever override the script_break() function -
it would appear all PangoEngineLangs are hard-coded.

However, it might be that we overlooked something.
