Compile to/from standard ICU #130

Open samhh opened 2 years ago

We currently support a superset of ICU that includes boolean, doesn't always require other, etc. We could compile this down to something ICU-compliant for better interop with other tools.

The conversion back would be lossy. For example {x, boolean, true {y} false {z}} could be compiled to {x, select, true {y} false {z} other {__NOOP__}}. It could be compiled back to our superset provided the keys aren't renamed and __NOOP__ is left alone.

If we do this we may want to consider giving our superset its own name.

Note that as the spec is currently written, if we support MF2 (#156), we'll once again be supporting a superset.
