The syntax of:
We have [quant,_1,visitor] today
was one of the my dislikes of Locale::Maketext.
Locale::Maketext assumes that the programmer knows:
a) the method to call; this case 'quant' (is there ever any other method to
call?)
b) that _1 applies to the word 'visitor' - in reality the sales department may
not like the wording that was chosen by the programmer.
It also compile-caches the result so that the only way to change the value, it
to re-start the Perl interpreter.
With Locale::MakePhrase, it contains an expression engine so that the
translator can do the equivalent of:
_1 == 0 : "No visitors"
_1 == 1 : "Only one visitor"
...
ie: it scarifices CPU cycles, to allow the expressions to be changed at runtime.
