Currently, for a program like Vim to query the terminal support for Bidi text,
it goes through the workaround of setting env var $TERMBIDI.
See: https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/5023
I'm suggesting the inclusion of the various Bidi capabilities listed by the
Freedesktop "BiDi in Terminal Emulators" proposal:
https://terminal-wg.pages.freedesktop.org/bidi/recommendation/
E.g: in "The escape sequences" section, a terminal can have support for:
* Implicit vs explicit
* LTR vs RTL
* Box mirroring or no box mirroring
* Autodetection or no autodetection
* Arrow keys swapping or no arrow keys swapping
* Combining characters support (unsure about this. Could be left to programs)
* Letter shaping
