In another post you sounded as if there is a connection between this
stuff and printing arrays. I'm not sure I see the connection.
Very simple. If we have a locale table, I am thinking of dedicating a
branch "std" in it to stuff that's in std. For example, I can use
currentLocale.get("std", "array-separator") or something.
Let's disconnect the two.
What if you were to document the data structure Algebraic, and mention
that D itself uses an instance of it already to store array printing
parameters.
You could also mention that an Algebraic would be a great place to store
Unicode CLDR data, and other (Windows) registry type things.
And then, in the examples directory one could find a program that reads
the CLDR xml (or of course a suitable snippet of it) and populates an
instance of Algebraic. And then this example program would do something
small but useful with the data.
