I knew from the headline that this would be the Turkish I thing, but I couldn't fathom why a compiler would care about case-folding. "I don't know Kotlin, but surely its syntax is case-sensitive like all the other commonly used languages nowadays?"

> The code is part of a class named CompilerOutputParser, and is responsible for reading XML files containing messages from the Kotlin compiler. Those files look something like this:

"Oh."

"... Seriously?"

As if I didn't hate XML enough already.

what do you propose to handle translation messages? how do you think they should map the compiler codes to human messages?

		.NET ResX localization generates a source file. So localized messages are just `Resources.TheKey` - a named property like anything else in the language. It also catches key renaming bugs because the code will fail to compile if you remove/rename a key without updating users.

		... Just about anything else? The baseline expectation in other data formats is that keys are case-sensitive. (Also, that there are keys, specifically designed for lookup of the needed data, rather than tag names.)
