Using custom prefix exceptions about parse-latin HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey there!

• What are the exceptions?
• If the goal is to support different languages, are exceptions enough? Would more extensions be needed and possible? Couldn’t a parse-french be made?

from parse-latin.

For example, academic papers might use "Fig." when referring to tables, charts, etc. Corporate content often contains abbreviations like "dept." or "govt.". And other edge cases can come up, which might not be part of a formal spec.

I intended to add some of these exceptions and tests in a PR in parse-english but I quickly found a solution using plugins. I also wasn't sure if "fig" should be handled in parse-latin or -english... but I'd be happy to make the PR(s) if you think it's worthwhile.

Ultimately, I agree that language-specific parsers would be the most semantic way to handle i18n - since exceptions are only a part of the equation (I may have overestimated their significance).

Thanks for your patience.
I am open to such an API. Preferrably as discussed a clean, shared, API that works with the different projects.
I am closing this though, as I think it’s a nice to have, that I personally am not currently interested in working on!
But, let me know if you (or someone else?) is interested in working on this!
