so, in conclusion, I need to write (I already did that btw) code which does 
ellipsize text both at the end or at the start of a wxString... so that having 
all three styles won't need additional work.

BTW I've fixed tab handling but now I need to add this RTL/LTR logic -- how do I 
know if LTR is enabled in wx? I couldn't find any reference to RTL in docs 
except for wxDC::GetLayoutDirection...
