A boolean value indicating whether left and right style properties should be automatically swapped when in RTL mode. When enabled, left becomes right and right becomes left in RTL layouts.

**Important Notes:**

- doLeftAndRightSwapInRTL is `true` by default. This can be set to `false` with `swapLeftAndRightinRTL()`.

It is quite implicit from the sentence above that swap is enabled by default. I think we can skip that point, or just alter the sentence above.

- Does only affect `marginLeft` / `marginRight` / `paddingLeft` / `paddingRight` / `borderLeftWidth` / `borderRightWidth`
