Most arguments against it are about parser cache splitting, which is silly, as people already split the parser cache on a massive level using {{int: hacks on commons, and the table of contents on pretty much every other wiki (As an aside, TOC really shouldn't split parser cache imo, and that's something I'd like to fix at some point, but as it stands, any page with a ToC is split by user language)
See https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114057#1798538 on that issue.
I think it might be interesting to be able to set 'mul' as the content language, in order to make the pages always be in the user language, but that's the sort of thing I think needs some testing to discover forgotten about assumptions about language that MediaWiki might make.
'mul' is to be used if the page content is in mixed languages.
We need to use another, different marker code internally, which is replaced by the user language code when the page is rendered.
