[bug #59814] [PATCH] improve internationalization at startup

[G. Branden Robinson]

Follow-up Comment #6, bug #59814 (project groff):

[myself in comment #4 comment #4:]
> This, I'm dubious about.  It would make it impossible to switch languages
mid-document and get appropriate hyphenation for the other language(s).

My objection was overstated--I hadn't looked at the patch yet (shame on me). 
It safely aliased the internal implementation of the request, which is
otherwise irretrievably discarded on redefinition.

However, having to do a dance where you call the "I really mean it" aliased
version of the request is also pretty squicky.

[comment #5 comment #5:]
> A fair point.  This code was really just a stopgap anyway until the root of
bug #57556 (reading the relevant lefthyphenmin and righthyphenmin from the
pattern files) can be addressed.

Yes.  I've updated #57556 with some concrete info about what exactly needs to
be supported.
