Really :-)

Although I said it would be nice to have such a feature, I'm not convinced  
that it's actually needed. In addition, I feel that it would be an  
absolute nightmare to implement.

I know the feeling well because when I first offered to maintain the  
English resources, I thought it would be a doddle but here we are some 20  
years later and they're still nothing like finished. Even though they're  
plain ascii text files, I inherited a mess and they're a nightmare to work  
on.

Regards,
Martin
