The new algorithm is based on a scripting language. It wil automatically
take precedence of the old one when it is used. Many opcodes that were
intended to be used with the old algorithm are unimplemented and hence
undocumented. If someone wants to look at the current algorithm they can
begin with the function insertBrailleIndicators.
