/**
 * Pango2Direction:
 * @PANGO2_DIRECTION_LTR: A strong left-to-right direction
 * @PANGO2_DIRECTION_RTL: A strong right-to-left direction
 * @PANGO2_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR: A weak left-to-right direction
 * @PANGO2_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL: A weak right-to-left direction
 * @PANGO2_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL: No direction specified
 *
 * `Pango2Direction` represents a direction in the Unicode bidirectional
 * algorithm.
 *
 * Not every value in this enumeration makes sense for every usage of
 * `Pango2Direction`; for example, the direction of characters cannot be
 * `PANGO2_DIRECTION_WEAK_LTR` or `PANGO2_DIRECTION_WEAK_RTL`, since every
 * character is either neutral or has a strong direction; on the other hand
 * `PANGO2_DIRECTION_NEUTRAL` doesn't make sense to pass to [func@itemize].
 *
 * See `Pango2Gravity` for how vertical text is handled in Pango2.
 *
 * If you are interested in text direction, you should really use
 * [fribidi](http://fribidi.org/) directly. `Pango2Direction` is only
 * retained because it is used in some public apis.
