You can use `:set arabic` and `:set noarabic` to switch back and forth
between Arabic mode, but note that in the Arabic mode everything will
show RTL including Latin-based scripts, this doesn't affect the actual
text content though and it'll show properly elsewhere. A better solution
is to use Arabic capable terminal (mlterm or pterm AFAIK) and then no
special vim support is needed.
