-------------------------------------+-------------------------------------
Django's `makemessages` and `compilemessages` management commands
currently force applications to put their PO files under
//<LOCALE_PATH>/<lang_code>/LC_MESSAGES/<domain>.po//.
According to the [https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/gettext.html
#Locating-Catalogs GNU gettext manual], //LC_<category>// should be used
for Message Catalog files, i.e. MO files.
Thus, the cited management commands should //at least// provide an option
to specify the location of PO files. Ideally PO files should be moved off
the //LC_MESSAGES// directory too, as it becomes redundant.
//LC_MESSAGES// directories would only be generated after invoking
`compilemessages` and would only be used at run-time, as a location where
compiled files are read from.
