mlterm version 2.1.0 with BiDi support using FriBidi will be released
soon. However, some people insist that terminal emulators are not
responsible for BiDi and application softwares are responsible (and
thus terminal emulators should _not_ support BiDi).
I think mlterm can satisfy such people by disabling BiDi support by
using command option or configuration file.
The point is, Shaul, do you think the BiDi support should be enabled
by default or should be disabled by default?
