The overwhelming majority of localizable messages comes from
completions:
$ ls share/completions/ | wc -l
$ 1048
OTOH functions also contribute a small amount, mostly via their
descriptions (so usually just one per file).
$ ls share/functions/ | wc -l
$ 237
Most of these are private and almost never shown to the user, so it's
not worth bothering translators with them. So:
- Skip private (see the parent commit) and deprecated functions.
- Skip wrapper functions like grep (where the translation seems to
be provided by apropos), and even the English description is not
helpful.
- Assume that most real systems have "seq", "realpath" etc.,
so it's no use providing our own translations for our fallbacks.
- Mark fish's own functions as tier1, and some barely-used functiosn
and completions as tier3, so we can order them that way in
po/*.po. Most translators should only look at tier1 and tier2.
In future we could disable localization for tier3.

Part of #11833
(cherry picked from commit d835c5252a)
This called `uname` just to check if we *should* shorten "cygdrive"
directories.
That's more annoying than just doing it by default - on my system `pwd
| string replace` takes about 100 *micro*seconds, and this is done
once per prompt. Anyway, using $PWD further speeds it up to ~30
microseconds (compared to 10-20 for just `pwd`). This is hard to
measure because it's heavily impacted by system hitter.
The alternative is to ask cygwin to ship this feature as a patch.
I hate doing this but I am tired of touching a fish script as part of
some change and having `make style` radically change it. Which makes
editing fish scripts more painful than it needs to be. It is time to do
a wholesale reformatting of these scripts to conform to the documented
style as implemented by the `fish_indent` program.
I break compatibility with Mac OS X again, that I don't have access
to. Result: Stuff break, and I have to fix it, so it will perhaps
work. At least, I hope it will work.
