proposal: major version - ordered directories (multiple overrides), json or yaml content

[rosskevin]

These are features I'll need so I'm going to build it either way. I'm wondering if you'll want the changes:

1. Allow for multiple locale directories e.g. dirs[0] is a base dir, whereas dirs[5] would be the most specialized dir
2. json or yaml content parsing - default to json, but allow for a type to specify yaml parsing.

I'll fork and build it, I can PR it and see if you are interested. If you have any other thoughts, please let me know.

I've actually found that I need to remove the basename from the structure created. The basename comes from the json filename. I need to remove it because in our i18n, it would require us to create far more files (something like 5x vs the structure we have).

Given that, I think I'll be maintaining a permanent fork with the breaking changes. If you do look over it and want me to merge it, I'm happy to PR.

Maybe if you could elaborate a little more on why you'd need several dirs, and whats the specificity is supposed to determine. Than i could think about its worth to the library form a "general purpose" point of view. And just to let you know: As far as i know there is a yaml fork for the loader already.

Thanks @de-robat. The yaml fork wasn't up to date. I've just finished my changes and need move on to using it, but ultimately I think I broke compatibility in too many ways:

1. basename (filename) is no longer included in the structure. We have one contact.yml for a variety of widgets, and we scope our keys to the react component name. Since we have 6 components, using the basename structure we would have to split our files into 6, and name each for the widget. Neither way is bad/wrong, we have just too few keys for it to be worth it to have a dedicated file for each widget.
2. Changed include/exclude to be glob based (good in general)
3. Allow app/locales to override any number of lib/locales (not just one override)

I'll submit PR and close it just so you have an idea. If you do decide you want to merge it, please let me know.
