It certainly would be great, but such support is really
non-trivial to properly implement.
Claiming "support" of Arabic, Farsi, and Hebrew, requires
full support for context alternates, special ligatures,
various vowel and vocalization marks, mixed left-to-right and
right-to-left text handling based on language and character set,
as well as spelling and hyphenation support.
Don't count on this support anytime in the near to midterm
future.
