How it works

An intermediary compile file is created at .{filename}.% if none is present or it is older than the source. It is then conditionally executed with a given locale and output to .foxbat/{locale}/{filename} if that file is older or nonexistent. That is then compiled to .foxbat/{locale}/.{filename}.@, should it be missing or older, and then, finally and always, the .foxbat/{locale}/.{filename}.@ template is excuted and the output returned to the called (typically to be passed to res.send)
