When was the last time this was discussed? I remember that I sent a
patch to unify the current situation where most localedata is using code
points but few fields here and there are using strings. The patch was
rejected in the hope we would one day move to using human-readable
strings but no discussion followed when that might be.
Perhaps the time is now?
