	This module implements the {{multitrans}} template.

	Author: Benwing2, based on an idea from Rua.
	
	The idea is to reduce the memory usage of large translation tables by
	computing the whole table at once instead of through several separate calls.
	The entire text of the translation table should be passed as follows:
	
	{{multitrans|data=
* Abkhaz: {{tt|ab|аиқәаҵәа}}
* Acehnese: {{tt|ace|itam}}
* Afrikaans: {{tt+|af|swart}}
* Albanian: {{tt+|sq|zi}}
* Amharic: {{tt|am|ጥቁር}}
* Arabic: {{tt+|ar|أَسْوَد|m}}, {{tt|ar|سَوْدَاء|f}}, {{tt|ar|سُود|p}}
*: Moroccan Arabic: {{tt|ary|كحال|tr=kḥāl}}
* Armenian: {{tt|hy|սև}}
* Aromanian: {{tt|rup|negru}}, {{tt+|rup|laiu}}
* Asháninka: {{tt|cni|cheenkari}}, {{tt|cni|kisaari}}
* Assamese: {{tt|as|ক‌’লা}}, {{tt|as|কুলা}} {{qualifier|Central}}
* Asturian: {{tt|ast|ñegru}}, {{tt|ast|negru}}, {{tt|ast|prietu}}
* Atikamekw: {{tt|atj|makatewaw}}
* Avar: {{tt|av|чӏегӏера}}
* Aymara: {{tt|ay|ch’iyara}}
* Azerbaijani: {{tt+|az|qara}}
	[etc.]
	}}
	
	That is, take the original text and add a 't' to the beginning of translation
	templates:
		{{t|...}} -> {{tt|...}}
		{{t+|...}} -> {{tt+|...}}
		{{t-check|...}} -> {{tt-check|...}}
		{{t+check|...}} -> {{tt+check|...}}
		
	The {{tt*|...}} templates are pass-throughs, so that e.g.
	{{tt|ary|كحال|tr=kḥāl}} generates the literal text "⦃⦃t¦ary¦كحال¦tr=kḥāl⦄⦄",
	with braces replaced by brace-like Unicode chars and the pipe symbol
	replaced by a pipe-symbol-like Unicode char. These special chars are parsed
	by the Lua code and call the same code that underlyingly implements
	{{t}} and {{t+}}, but because this all happens inside a single module
	invocation instead of a lot of separate module invocations, it's much
	faster and more memory-efficient.
