Comment (by azaozz):

 Wouldn't it be better to use the `dir="..."` attribute on the textarea to
 change directions (this seems suggested at
 [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/bidi-xhtml/ W3.org])?

 Also the current patch works but only because of the back-compat in
 Quicktags. The "new" method of adding buttons is described
 [http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/trunk/wp-
 includes/js/quicktags.dev.js#L273 here]. Thinking if we are doing this, it
 should be included in wp_editor() and added automatically when the text
 direction is RTL, similar to the "directionality" plugin for TinyMCE.
