I want to cheer at this.

Internationalization is hard, really hard, especially in a computing world so defined by its english-language dominance. The little amount of effort demonstrated in defining and testing this feature demonstrates that.

For all I admire Stenberg's work and focus on quality, that was a rather poor take from him.
