This is a good point. I'd be hesitant to move forward with anything
in upstream CMake without broader interest.

This can be done already in the CMake language:
```
set("en.GREETING" "Hello world!")
set("ru.GREETING" "Привет, мир!")
set(l10n ru)
message(STATUS "${${l10n}.GREETING}") # Привет, мир!
```
A macro or function could be used to improve the ergonomics of
defining the table.
