---- Rewrites language files in order to be consistent with en_us.
---
--- This will take every given language file and rewrite it to be in the same
--- order as the en_us file. Any keys which appear in the given file, but not
--- in en_us are warned about.
---
--- When passing the `-v` flag, we also print any missing commands.
---
--- Note, this is not intended to be a fool-proof tool, rather a quick way to
--- ensure language files are mostly correct.
---
--- @example
---
---     # Reformat all files
---     > lua tools/language.lua
---     # Reformat German, and warn about missing entries
---     > lua tools/language.lua -v de_de
