// Package catalog defines collections of translated format strings.
//
// This package mostly defines types for populating catalogs with messages. The
// catmsg package contains further definitions for creating custom message and
// dictionary types as well as packages that use Catalogs.
//
// Package catalog defines various interfaces: Dictionary, Loader, and Message.
// A Dictionary maintains a set of translations of format strings for a single
// language. The Loader interface defines a source of dictionaries. A
// translation of a format string is represented by a Message.
//
// # Catalogs
//
// A Catalog defines a programmatic interface for setting message translations.
// It maintains a set of per-language dictionaries with translations for a set
// of keys. For message translation to function properly, a translation should
// be defined for each key for each supported language. A dictionary may be
// underspecified, though, if there is a parent language that already defines
// the key. For example, a Dictionary for "en-GB" could leave out entries that
// are identical to those in a dictionary for "en".
//
// # Messages
//
// A Message is a format string which varies on the value of substitution
// variables. For instance, to indicate the number of results one could want "no
// results" if there are none, "1 result" if there is 1, and "%d results" for
// any other number. Catalog is agnostic to the kind of format strings that are
// used: for instance, messages can follow either the printf-style substitution
// from package fmt or use templates.
//
// A Message does not substitute arguments in the format string. This job is
// reserved for packages that render strings, such as message, that use Catalogs
// to selected string. This separation of concerns allows Catalog to be used to
// store any kind of formatting strings.
//
// # Selecting messages based on linguistic features of substitution arguments
//
// Messages may vary based on any linguistic features of the argument values.
// The most common one is plural form, but others exist.
//
// Selection messages are provided in packages that provide support for a
// specific linguistic feature. The following snippet uses plural.Selectf:
//
//	catalog.Set(language.English, "You are %d minute(s) late.",
//		plural.Selectf(1, "",
//			plural.One, "You are 1 minute late.",
//			plural.Other, "You are %d minutes late."))
//
// In this example, a message is stored in the Catalog where one of two messages
// is selected based on the first argument, a number. The first message is
// selected if the argument is singular (identified by the selector "one") and
// the second message is selected in all other cases. The selectors are defined
// by the plural rules defined in CLDR. The selector "other" is special and will
// always match. Each language always defines one of the linguistic categories
// to be "other." For English, singular is "one" and plural is "other".
//
// Selects can be nested. This allows selecting sentences based on features of
// multiple arguments or multiple linguistic properties of a single argument.
//
// # String interpolation
//
// There is often a lot of commonality between the possible variants of a
// message. For instance, in the example above the word "minute" varies based on
// the plural catogory of the argument, but the rest of the sentence is
// identical. Using interpolation the above message can be rewritten as:
//
//	catalog.Set(language.English, "You are %d minute(s) late.",
//		catalog.Var("minutes",
//			plural.Selectf(1, "", plural.One, "minute", plural.Other, "minutes")),
//		catalog.String("You are %[1]d ${minutes} late."))
//
// Var is defined to return the variable name if the message does not yield a
// match. This allows us to further simplify this snippet to
//
//	catalog.Set(language.English, "You are %d minute(s) late.",
//		catalog.Var("minutes", plural.Selectf(1, "", plural.One, "minute")),
//		catalog.String("You are %d ${minutes} late."))
//
// Overall this is still only a minor improvement, but things can get a lot more
// unwieldy if more than one linguistic feature is used to determine a message
// variant. Consider the following example:
//
//	// argument 1: list of hosts, argument 2: list of guests
//	catalog.Set(language.English, "%[1]v invite(s) %[2]v to their party.",
//		catalog.Var("their",
//			plural.Selectf(1, ""
//				plural.One, gender.Select(1, "female", "her", "other", "his"))),
//		catalog.Var("invites", plural.Selectf(1, "", plural.One, "invite"))
//		catalog.String("%[1]v ${invites} %[2]v to ${their} party.")),
//
// Without variable substitution, this would have to be written as
//
//	// argument 1: list of hosts, argument 2: list of guests
//	catalog.Set(language.English, "%[1]v invite(s) %[2]v to their party.",
//		plural.Selectf(1, "",
//			plural.One, gender.Select(1,
//				"female", "%[1]v invites %[2]v to her party."
//				"other", "%[1]v invites %[2]v to his party."),
//			plural.Other, "%[1]v invites %[2]v to their party."))
//
// Not necessarily shorter, but using variables there is less duplication and
// the messages are more maintenance friendly. Moreover, languages may have up
// to six plural forms. This makes the use of variables more welcome.
//
// Different messages using the same inflections can reuse variables by moving
// them to macros. Using macros we can rewrite the message as:
//
//	// argument 1: list of hosts, argument 2: list of guests
//	catalog.SetString(language.English, "%[1]v invite(s) %[2]v to their party.",
//		"%[1]v ${invites(1)} %[2]v to ${their(1)} party.")
//
// Where the following macros were defined separately.
//
//	catalog.SetMacro(language.English, "invites", plural.Selectf(1, "",
//		plural.One, "invite"))
//	catalog.SetMacro(language.English, "their", plural.Selectf(1, "",
//		plural.One, gender.Select(1, "female", "her", "other", "his"))),
//
// Placeholders use parentheses and the arguments to invoke a macro.
//
// # Looking up messages
//
// Message lookup using Catalogs is typically only done by specialized packages
// and is not something the user should be concerned with. For instance, to
// express the tardiness of a user using the related message we defined earlier,
// the user may use the package message like so:
//
//	p := message.NewPrinter(language.English)
//	p.Printf("You are %d minute(s) late.", 5)
//
// Which would print:
//
//	You are 5 minutes late.
//
// This package is UNDER CONSTRUCTION and its API may change.
