Yes, that's what I was thinking for complex cases. For simple cases, can't users already specify "en" and get a permutation with all the Englishes combined? Perhaps I misunderstand, though. Is the plan to stop using "en" and switch to having people use "en_*" to collapse down the Englishes? > > @Lex, do you disagree with being able to write glob-like patterns at > all in the <collapse-property> tag, or the way in which it's been > implemented? > I'm reviewing the patch. It's a complex one and is simply taking some time. On this little issue, though, it's the feature that I suspect we can do better on. Depending on the string name of an enum looks suboptimal. That's just a principle, though. We could evaluate it better if we had some strong use cases to look at. Lex -- http://groups.google.com/group/Google-Web-Toolkit-Contributors
