On the surface the idea sounds sensible. Maybe there are some issues relating
to consistency across the whole ports tree in the way languages are handled.
I see no solution being intrinsically better than any other but would tend to
favour a consistent approach for all language. We already have one built in
inconsistencyt -- i.e. english is handled different;ly than any other.
IMHO one inconsistency is enough!!
