+    * one setting that silently changes every user-facing sentence the server
+    * produces, so a reader trying to explain an unexpected language has nothing
+    * else to look at: the framework ships no catalogue, so "no entry for this
+    * code" and "no locale declared" both render the English and are
+    * indistinguishable in the output. At `debug` the line is below the default
