Right to Left writing direction.

iTerm2 seems to assume that all character sets are Left to Right. Arabic is one of a number of languages that are written Right to Left. There is no way to specify this and iTerm2 forces the text to be displayed Left to Right, resulting in the text being mirrored.
What steps will reproduce the problem?

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Apple's Terminal.app displays it correctly: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s313/sh/2d2671a5-98ed-4993-aeed-d3f85cbf6601/8601bf4537a2305b40c5ed7d6714ae5b
iTerm2 displays the text in the wrong order: https://www.evernote.com/shard/s313/sh/c3eb7070-6291-4262-848c-8c74cb5a0990/4cf2220cdb8bdbb9428e2f95abe6c8b2
What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS X Mavericks / OS X 10.9 (13A603)
iTerm2: Build 1.0.0.20130624
Please provide any additional information below.
This makes iTerm impossible to work with for languages that are written and read Right to Left.
