--- I18n library for message storage in Lua datastores.
--  The module is designed to enable message separation from modules &
--  templates. It has support for handling language fallbacks. This
--  module is a Lua port of [[I18n-js]] and i18n modules that can be loaded
--  by it are editable through [[I18nEdit]].

--- I18n datastore class.
--  This is used to control language translation and access to individual
--  messages. The datastore instance provides language and message
--  getter-setter methods, which can be used to internationalize Lua modules.
--  The language methods (any ending in `Lang`) are all **chainable**.

--- Datastore message getter utility.
--  This method returns localized messages from the datastore corresponding
--  to a `key`. These messages may have `$n` parameters, which can be
--  replaced by optional argument strings supplied by the `msg` call.
--  
--  This function supports [[Lua reference manual#named_arguments|named
--  arguments]]. The named argument syntax is more versatile despite its
--  verbosity; it can be used to select message language & source(s).
