-- Module:Labels — inline sense labels for Dictionary definitions, after the
-- fashion of Wiktionary's {{lb}}. Renders italic, parenthesised context /
-- register / domain labels immediately before a sense, and (for labels it
-- knows) files the page into a per-language maintenance category. Backs {{lb}}.
--
-- Any label not in the table below still displays, verbatim, with no category —
-- so figurative, by extension, and unlisted domains just work as plain text.
-- Keep the categorising set deliberately small; the category scheme is the
-- operator's to grow.
