'dir' is not, at the moment there. I was asking if we could add it. I 
can do the coding and send in a diff. It's a general solution, and has 
been done before.
Thai is also RTL. I beleive these three are the only RTL languages.

What kind of examples do you need? Every script I run is an example. Do 
you want a screenshot?
