How would you do the filtering? Based on classes of opcodes? I would
assume this cannot be automated, or at least not for every language.
Of course this can be achieved today: Split a table into several tables,
including only one class of contractions in one table. To get full
contraction just specify all tables when doing a translation. To get
partial contraction just pass a selection of the tables to
lou_translate.
We do something along this line to modularize our German tables.
