/** \file
 * Localised message support (interface).
 *
 * The messages module loads a file of keys and associated strings, and
 * provides fast lookup by key. The messages file consists of key:value lines,
 * comment lines starting with #, and other lines are ignored. Use
 * messages_load() to read the file into memory. To lookup a key, use
 * messages_get("key").
 *
 * It can also load additional messages files into different contexts and allow
 * you to look up values in it independantly from the standard shared Messages
 * file table.  Use the _ctx versions of the functions to do this.
