I'm sorry about that. But, on the other hand, we have more time
to design, test, etc. Also, everybody are welcome to fix my patches
and even prepare their own taking mine as a concept only.
Things left to do:
- do not make the alt_mon section in locale database obligatory,
instead generate the alt_mon as a copy of mon when it is missing;
- consequently: do not add the alt_mon to all locales;
- rename ALTMON_* constants to __ALTMON_*;
- implement the %Ob format specifier and its corresponding _NL_ABALTMON_*
(abbreviated alternative month name);
- test, discuss, reach a consensus...
Best regards,
Rafal
