@kangax is there an official statment about RTL support?

im developing an "Ilustrator&phtoshop&indesign" for an
Online Book Editing App with backbone & fabric

our issue when editing bulk text in RTL is a blocking issue ..
do you think fabric.js can be adapted to RTL ?

or maybe an external solution is more adequate for my niche App
I Must support RTL text editing as if it was reguler html editing like in google docs..

possible soultion in my mind right now is a new fabric.Text/Image/Object ( just for RTL text editing ) .
this object will have edit&view modes..
going from edit -> view will result in a rendering of html2Canvas -> to fabric.Image
the power of HTML text editing with the power of a fabric object..
(resize of window/resize of object will be taken care of by the view.mode of this new fabric.object mechnizm)

besides this issue everything is GREAT and THANK YOU very much for your awesome project..
demo for the app will be post as soon its out of the oven..

RTL would definitely be nice to have but unfortunately I can't tell when someone will start working on it. We have lots of issues, requests, etc. and only 2 people maintaining Fabric in a barely part-time sort of way.
