I wouldn't mind, but I might not be the best person when it comes to
choosing names ;)

How about a global variable named BIDI_TERM? if it is set, then it is
taken as an indicator that terminal supports bidi texts. variable
value does not matter but must be a non-empty string.

I would like to hear everyone's opinion on this. It's better to change
things now rather than change all occurrences later.
