[bug #53413] [PATCH] Add hyphenation patterns to use with US and hy=48

[Werner LEMBERG]

Follow-up Comment #7, bug #53413 (project groff):

I can only repeat that there is no `failure' in hyphenation patterns.  It's
outside of groff's scope to decide that since it is meta information bound to
a given language.

What's missing is a mechanism for groff to get the correct minmax hyphenation
values.  Fortunately, there are efforts to improve that: Look at
`yaml-headers' branch of the central repository of TeX hyphenation patterns

  https://github.com/hyphenation/tex-hyphen/tree/yaml-headers

which adds the necessary information to all available hyphenation patterns! 
AFAIK, this will eventually be merged into `master' (as soon as the maintainer
has time to do that).

I suggest to add code to groff to make use of this information, for example,
by replacing the current `hyphen.xxx' files with the corresponding files from
the `tex-hyphen' repository, then parsing the YAML headers for the necessary
information.
