I guess that would destroy the parser cache entirely.
Well, surprise: EVERY IMAGE PAGE ON COMMONS already has
language-specific cache keys because it uses {{autotranslate}} and
other stuff that relies on {{int:}}. Furthermore, in page source of
[[en:Barack Obama]] (the typical modern example of performance
engineer's hell):
<!-- Saved in parser cache with key enwiki:pcache:idhash:534366-0!*!0!!en!4!* and

Ooops, cache is _already_ fragmented. I wasn't asking for another
way of cache fragmentation, I merely proposed that we make retrieval
of current language code less hacky and slow. :)
