Comment:

 Adding a context to `date_i18n()` doesn't really solve anything, because
 the correct case depends on date format being used, not on the string
 placement.

 `date_i18n( 'F Y' )` doesn't need declension for example, but `date_i18n(
 'j F Y' )` does.

 [https://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/browser/pl_PL/tags/4.3.1/dist/wp-
 content/languages/pl_PL.php Polish] and
 [https://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/browser/hr/tags/4.3.1/dist/wp-
 content/languages/hr.php Croatian] packages currently use a regex filter
 as a workaround.

 [attachment:11226.3.diff] brings that into core, so that other Slavic
 languages (where similar rules apply) could use it too.

 It also has the
 [https://i18n.trac.wordpress.org/browser/ca/tags/4.3.1/dist/wp-
 content/languages/ca.php Catalan] filter, so these three locales can
 remove their `$locale.php` files once this is in core.
