Rollback option for .ldf files about babel

[Udi-Fogiel]

@jbezos in the specific context of Hebrew, Im also OK (and maybe it is even better) with add a new value to the bidi option (say rlbabel), so that I could stop using it, but still let people load it if they want to.

Now that I think about it, I could also simply test if rlbabel was \inputed before loading the language, and ask people that want to use to input that themselves, not sure what is the best option here.

I think I'll just do that, so I'll close for now.. Sorry for the noise.

@Udi-Fogiel What a short-lived issue. But now you raised this question — Hebrew is the only language (besides polutonikogreek) with an additional setting in the babel core (to load another file, rlbabel). I would like to get rid of it, so we can seize the opportunity, so that it’s entirely under the control of the Hebrew ldf.

@jbezos that would be great! Let me ship the next release to ctan first, so that no errors from missing file will happen?

@Udi-Fogiel 👍 Perfect. Once released a new hebrew I’ll modify babel.
