I think you got it right but I would like to note (regarding 2) that
if a console program (with existing RTL translation) like apt-get, for
example, is used and the locale env vars are set to some RTL language
(by default) then the program output is unreadable (reversed) and I
guess this is the main motivation for people wishing to include
MLTerm. Possible solutions:
* Don't translate console applications.
* echo "export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8" >> ~/.bashrc
A third use case would be:
3. Some programs embed Terminal emulators (like Ubuntu's good'ol
Update Manager, used to display apt installation progress in a
console) and this issue is not resolved by using MLTerm since it's not
embeddable like vte is.
