Well, we can do two things to address that hardship:

1. Only rename if full RTL support is enabled.
2. Add actual "Left" and "Right" tabs; the distinction helps clarify the
functionality.

(and these two can both be done.)

Note, however, that this will be inconsistent with our choice for alignment: We
say "align left" and "align right" even though they're "align start" and "align
end".

One possible approach to this would be to introduce a
mini-preview/illustration, in the Tabs pane, for individual tabs. That preview
could show both an LTR paragraph and an RTL paragraph; or be click-switchable
between RTL and LTR.

Granted, that would be quite a bit of work.
