Hi! I want to try this one out and see if I can reduce the verbosity of my define messages for react-intl, but not sure entirely how it works/what it does :). Any clues?

Now I have .messages.js modules with stuff like:

export default defineMessages({
    "landing-page-contact-message-placeholder": {
        id: "landing-page-contact-message-placeholder",
        defaultMessage: "How can we help?"
    },
});

In which I really feel silly repeating my ids ;). I'm wondering if I this module could help me reduce those. I got the suggestion of using local friendly ids, but I do want to be able to match the translation id to where it's being used, so I don't really care much about using messages["long-id"] on my code, but I do care about having to repeat the id.

I'm willing to work on it if it's not yet complete and reduces boilerplate!

Thanks!
