syntax extention: formats

[puzrin]

If one need piped processing for variables to do additional l10n, it's possible to use this notation:

#{variable:processor|param1|param2|...}

Examples:

• #{count:localize_number}
• #{date:format|short}
• #{another.translation:phrase} - insert another translation by this key

The same can be done for selector notation, to change selection rule:

• ((male|female))[:gender]
• ((male|female))[:ordinal]

That's not planned right now, because no real requests exist. Also syntax is subject to discuss.

Probably, that should not be done at all, because data can be prepared before passing to translate()

Liquid's syntax is nice:
