the standard allows but does not require detecting bad catalog
descriptors and reporting the as EBADF. detection is only possible in
the general case if nl_catd is its own resource identifier namespace
not shaed with address space or file descriptors or anything else;
however, (nl_catd)-1 is always detectable since it's reserved as an
error value, and reportedly all other implementations detect this
condition and just return the untranslated string. users of catgets,
including tcsh, rely on this.

these accept the netbsd/openbsd message catalog file format,
consisting of a sorted list of set headers and a sorted list of
message headers for each set, admitting trivial binary search for
lookups.
the gnu format was not chosen because it's unusably bad. it does not
admit efficient (log time or better) lookups; rather, it requires
linear search or hash table lookups, and the hash function is awful:
it's literally set_id*msg_id.
