        // Optional
        // Unlike the JS version this option must be passed as object only.

Tasks:

• Essential t macro cases:
  • t`Some string`
  • t`Some ${variable} string`
  • t`Some ${expression} string`
  • t(i18n)`Some string` - custom i18n instance
  • dedup values object literal when the same variable appears few time, eq avoid {name, name, count}
• NON Essential t macro cases:
  • t({ message descriptor }) call with message descriptor object
  • Passing other macros as arguments for t() eq: t({message: plural(...)})
• defineMessage
  • Transform
  • Strip non-essential props on production
• JS ICU calls (plural, select, selectOrdinal)
  • plural(count, {one: '# item', few: '# items'}) - simple strings
  • plural(count, {one: `${variable} # item`, few: '# items'}) - tpls with placeholders
  • plural(expression(), {one: `${variable} # item`, few: '# items'}) - expression as parameter
  • dedup values object literal when the same variable appears few time, eq avoid {name, name, count}
  • nesting expressions as described here https://lingui.js.org/ref/macro.html#plural
  • Support offset:1 and exact matches =1 {...}
• Support JSX transformation
  • <Trans>
    • Simple cases <Trans>Hello World</Trans> -> <Trans message="Hello World" />
    • Variables interpolation <Trans>Hello {name} and {getName()}</Trans> -> <Trans variables={name, 1: getName()} msg="Hello {name} and {1}"/>
    • Recursive Components interpolation <Trans>Hello <strong>World!</strong></Trans>
    • Support edge cases <Trans>{'Hello World'}</Trans> and <Trans>{`How much is ${expression}? ${count}`}</Trans>
    • Normalizing whitespaces
    • Stripping non-essential props in production
  • ICU: <Plural> <SelectOrdinal> <Select>
    • Support offset:1 and exact matches =1 {...}
• Support narrowing transformation to only function exported from @lingui/macro
• Automatic adding import { i18n } from @lingui/core
• Unicode escaping, validate how SWC produce values
• Support runtimeConfigModule settings
• NON-ESSENTIAL Injecting uniq variables, avoiding collision with existing variables
• NON-ESSENTIAL support renamed macro calls import {t as macroT} from "@lingui/macro"
• Error handling: how to properly behave to do if user passed something not expected HANDLER
• Building binary and publishing
