Description
Grfcodec now (https://github.com/OpenTTD/grfcodec/pull/46) and OpenTTD will presumably soon (https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/pull/14188) support alternative sprites for RTL languages, for example a left-pointing fast-forward or play button make more sense in RTL languages. This is encoded in bit 4 in the sprite info byte.
NML support would be appreciated!

Research direction
Start by reading grfcodec PR #46 and OpenTTD PR #14188 to understand how alternative RTL sprites are represented. Then locate NML's sprite-info encoding and determine where bit 4 must be supported; done means NML can emit this flag for alternative sprites.
