-This class just zero-derives from the project base class, which
-is English for this project. i-default is "English at least". It
-wouldn't be a bad idea to make our i-default messages be English
-plus, say, French -- i-default is meant to /contain/ English, not
-be /just/ English. If you have all your English messages in
-Whatever::en and all your French messages in Whatever::fr, it
-would be straightforward to define Whatever::i_default's as a subclass
-of Whatever::en, but for every case where a key gets you a string
-(as opposed to a coderef) from %Whatever::en::Lexicon and
-%Whatever::fr::Lexicon, you could make %Whatever::i_default::Lexicon
-be the concatenation of them both. So: "file '[_1]' not found.\n" and
-"fichier '[_1]' non trouve\n" could make for an
-%Whatever::i_default::Lexicon entry of
-"file '[_1]' not found\nfichier '[_1]' non trouve.\n".
-
-There may be entries, however, where that is undesirable.
-And in any case, it's not feasable once you have an _AUTO lexicon
-in the mix, as wo do here.

-RFC 2277 says:
-
-4.5. Default Language
-
- When human-readable text must be presented in a context where the
- sender has no knowledge of the recipient's language preferences (such
- as login failures or E-mailed warnings, or prior to language
- negotiation), text SHOULD be presented in Default Language.
-
- Default Language is assigned the tag "i-default" according to the
- procedures of RFC 1766. It is not a specific language, but rather
- identifies the condition where the language preferences of the user
- cannot be established.
-
- Messages in Default Language MUST be understandable by an English-
- speaking person, since English is the language which, worldwide, the
- greatest number of people will be able to get adequate help in
- interpreting when working with computers.
-
- Note that negotiating English is NOT the same as Default Language;
- Default Language is an emergency measure in otherwise unmanageable
- situations.
-
- In many cases, using only English text is reasonable; in some cases,
- the English text may be augumented by text in other languages.
