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.
