/**
 * PangoDirection:
 * @PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR: A strong left-to-right direction
 * @PANGO_DIRECTION_RTL: A strong right-to-left direction
 * @PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_LTR: Deprecated value; treated the
 *   same as `PANGO_DIRECTION_RTL`.
 * @PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_RTL: Deprecated value; treated the
 *   same as `PANGO_DIRECTION_LTR`
 * @PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR: A weak left-to-right direction
 * @PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL: A weak right-to-left direction
 * @PANGO_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL: No direction specified
 *
 * `PangoDirection` represents a direction in the Unicode bidirectional
 * algorithm.
 *
 * Not every value in this enumeration makes sense for every usage of
 * `PangoDirection`; for example, the return value of [func@unichar_direction]
 * and [func@find_base_dir] cannot be `PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR` or
 * `PANGO_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL`, since every character is either neutral
 * or has a strong direction; on the other hand `PANGO_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL`
 * doesn't make sense to pass to [func@itemize_with_base_dir].
 *
 * The `PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_LTR`, `PANGO_DIRECTION_TTB_RTL` values come from
 * an earlier interpretation of this enumeration as the writing direction
 * of a block of text and are no longer used. See `PangoGravity` for how
 * vertical text is handled in Pango.
 *
 * If you are interested in text direction, you should really use fribidi
 * directly. `PangoDirection` is only retained because it is used in some
 * public apis.
