 Replying to [comment:2 azaozz]:
 > I'm still lost here. Seems you want to make Left to mean Right and Right
 to mean Left when coding.

 No - exactly the opposite.
 Right should be right, and left left.
 But sidebar-content means different things to rtl/ltr developers.

 There are no changes to right and left in my patch - I simply want to
 abstract it so that it's not direction dependent, but rather content
 dependent, and everything should match the design spirit of the theme.

 If the theme designer wants the sidebar on the right as a default for LTR
 languages, then it should be on the left for RTL languages. That's it.

 > - I can understand the desire to make the theme fully RTL compliant, but
 setting small parts of the code to have the opposite meaning seems very
 confusing.

 What has the opposite meaning?

 > Was wondering, how do RTL language speakers write code? Do they use an
 RTL text editor and see something like:
 No :)
