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?

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.
