Issues with core:text/i18n.parse_mo_from_bytes(): 1. it doesn't know about key contexts about odin HOT 3 CLOSED

Thanks for implementing this. Sorry to be late: apparently Github didn't notify me of the update.

@Kelimion : thanks for looking at this. When you deal with this issue, you may look also at this discussion which may also involve API changes in the i18n.get() family of calls.

Btw, I implemented the MO parser referencing https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/MO-Files.html, without looking at any of their code (to avoid GPL contamination). But I had no example files with a so-called context.

So how should it work? Suppose we have the same key, with and without "Context".

msgctxt "Context"
msgid "Message1"
msgstr "This is message 1 with context"

msgid "Message1"
msgstr "This is message 1 without context"

I imagine that you want get("Message1") to return This is message 1 without context.
And if you supply the context, then it'd return This is message 1 with context?

This could use get("section", "key") mechanism where any key with a context uses that context string as the section name, and entries without a context end up in the "" section.
