From time to time this is discussed in Tcl/Tk discussions.
See, for example, http://mini.net/tcl/1126 and nearby URLs, where such
right-to-left is discussed.

As long as things implemented in Tcl/Tk first, and then get eventually
copied to perlTk, I think it is quite reasonable to do this at C level in
Tcl, or at Tcl level.
