One definitive disadvantage of the "Lnnn Cnnn" format (and of the
separate "Lnnn" or "Cnnn" formats in use now) is that they are not very
internatinalization-friendly: they'll work only in English and some
Latin-based languages.

Of course, Emacs isn't i18n-ready, by a far stretch, but if we want to
have that some day, maybe now is the time to consider such things when
designing new features -- wdyt?
