19600	Core should know which locales are RTL	nacin	nacin	"Currently an RTL locale needs to specify `$text_direction = 'rtl';` in a $locale.php file. In the interest of eliminating the ''need'' for $locale.php files, core should keep a list of RTL locales.

`$text_direction` would remain functional, and we're not killing $locale.php -- just trying to cover its primary uses.

While a simple array of RTL locales can be maintained now, there might reach a point where it will be easier to include locales/locales.php in core. (Indeed, mu_dropdown_languages() would benefit from this.) In that case, RTL could be read from there."	task (blessed)	closed	normal	3.4	I18N		normal	fixed	has-patch
