I agree with you about that. What I propose is something else. 1. I do not propose implementing them all. Only some -- whichever ones we think are worth while. 2. I do not propose putting any of this in gettext. What I propose would be Emacs code that operates on the strings that come from gettext. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation (https://gnu.org, https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
