find-unused-joomla-language-constants's Issues

excluding deprecated strings

We are looking at marking deprecated / unused strings in the core by preceding them with a comment.

Is it possible to make the script ignore (or flag) deprecated strings.

Basically it should ignore any string that has a comment directly above it

** example **
TPL_BEEZ3_TEXTRIGHTOPEN="Open info"
TPL_BEEZ3_XML_DESCRIPTION="Accessible template for Joomla! Beez, the HTML 4 version."
; This string is not used and kept for B/C. Do not translate this string.
TPL_BEEZ3_YOUR_SITE_DESCRIPTION="Your site description"

So TPL_BEEZ3_YOUR_SITE_DESCRIPTION would NOT be listed in the script output

When a % is used

This is reported as unused but it is
COM_BANNERS_N_BANNERS_UNSTUCK_1: %d banner successfully unstickied.

Template positions

These are reported as unused strings

Not only en-GB language files

Hey Søren,

would be great to have a select box of all installed languages to make it easier to select other languages than just English.

Greetings
Viktor
