On MetaWiki we implemented an overhauled user language

includes a well-defined set of levels (unlike the old babel system),
uses only one sorted category per language, and has various other
improvements made possible with ParserFunctions. The babel system was
phased out on MetaWiki long ago; see
<http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_talk:User_language#Comparison_with_babel_templates>.
Now that looks like *exactly* how this system should work. Good job
to Meta. There's definitely no need for an extension here that
anyone's pointed out.
