Perhaps CaretInfo can be enhanced to carry this information, or new API could be added to TextEditPart to determine this information.  This would help TextTool determine information such as the type of caret to be used (bidi uses a directional caret), the direction of the caret when in OVERWRITE mode, whether the caret should be hidden (when the selection is an embedded graphic and handles are shown instead of range), or any other special caret characteristics (such as a slanted caret when in italicized text).
