[BRLTTY] Text mode toggles

[Lee Maschmeyer]

Hi folks,

I'd like to suggest a slight reworking of the options suggested by Dave in 
another item. Note that I know only English braille so may be overlooking 
important considerations. But to keep the ball rolling, how about these:

6/8 dots: We already have this, but see below.

Contracted/Uncontracted: If contracted is on, it would show up as contracted 
braille does now. If it's off, it would show up in either 6 or 8 dots as 
selected above.

Expand/No-expand: If Contracted is off, this would have no effect. If it's 
on, expand in literary braille. Anyone wanting computer braille could turn 
contractions off; now that we have expanding in literary (grade 1) braille 
there's no need to expand in computer braille.

I assume that whether contracted braille uses the dot 6 capital sign is 
chosen by the braille table.

Preferred subset of tables is needed somehow. Perhaps on the 6/8-dot key? 
The subsets in question would be specified in the configuration file.

Does that suffice?
