The point I'm trying to make is that translating the parts that handle
text into another language seems like wasted effort.  depesz has a
specific problem to solve, namely wanting to accept emailed input from
users who are likely to send any format; and that requires him to expend
a lot of effort that is not likely to be necessary in any other setting.
