- If it were built into the language, he *couldn't* do that. While your
- example using keywords in a programming language is a valid exception,
- in general, strings in a program must be translated/translatable. In
- the initial example, days of the week, this is certainly the case, and
- in fact, the translations have already been done for me on my system
- (provided I use strftime to access them).
