I have updated [my package for locale-aware date/time formatting](https://package.elm-lang.org/packages/enkidatron/elm-cldr/latest/) with my [proposed](https://discourse.elm-lang.org/t/adding-formatting-options-to-date-time-lib-elm-cldr/8145) API for using Intl-style options. I believe that this makes the package feature-complete enough to be used by other packages (e.g. Fluent-in-Elm type packages, charting packages, etc)!

This update does put a lot more data in each locale than there was before, so here are some example sizes:

- Basic app using `Cldr.Locale.allLocales` : 24MB
- Basic app using `Cldr.Locale.allLocales` , after gzip: 766KB
- Basic app using `Cldr.Locale.basicLocales` : 5.6MB
- Basic app using `Cldr.Locale.basicLocales` , after gzip: 217KB
- Basic app using a single locale: 255KB
- Basic app using a single locale, after gzip: 41KB
