On the other hand bidi support done by the terminal is needed too;
for the output of things like "date" command and programs without any
internal bidi support, or using a non-bidi-aware curses, etc.
of course the result won't be the best; but it would be better than
nothing at all.

So, the terminal must have bidi done by itself; but with the ability
to inhibit it (after a given sequence for example) so a bidi-aware curses
could send that sequence and do the bidi treatment itself.

Now the question is, are there any defined escape sequence to
activate/unactivate bidi support or not ?
