 /**
  * Bidi stands for Bi-directional text.
  * According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bi-directional_text:
  * Bi-directional text is text containing text in both text directionalities,
  * both right-to-left (RTL) and left-to-right (LTR). It generally involves text
  * containing different types of alphabets, but may also refer to boustrophedon,
  * which is changing text directionality in each row.
  *
  * This file provides some utility classes for determining directionality of
  * text, switching CSS layout from LTR to RTL, and other normalizing utilities
  * needed when switching between RTL and LTR formatting.
  *
  * It defines the TextDirection class which is used to represent directionality
  * of text,
  * In most cases, it is preferable to use bidi_formatter.dart, which provides
  * bidi functionality in the given directional context, instead of using
  * bidi_utils.dart directly.
