019/**
020 * Closed marker interface which signifies a Lokalized-defined language construct (genders, grammatical cases,
021 * definiteness, classifiers, animacy, clusivity, formality, cardinalities, ordinalities, phonetics).
022 * <p>
023 * Only the enum types shipped by Lokalized are supported. Application code must not implement this interface;
024 * external implementations cannot be resolved by the translation runtime and are rejected. The interface remains
025 * syntactically implementable because Lokalized targets Java 9, which predates sealed interfaces.
