Re: directional images

I understand. But that is not always desirable. So in my version, below, the author has a choice of using a separate image, forcing an image reflection, or letting it happen automatically. All without excessive parentheses. The basic idea could also work with border images, where there might be a directionality to the image there too. In fact, the basic idea could also work for automatically flipping border-widths and such too.
