That might occur. However, this bug was reported because it was "not
possible" to add german and french patterns. The reason is, of course,
that they are there in any case, it's simply not necessary. And I think
more people will be surprised (like Andreas) that they can't choose them
than by having to specify them.

So will you apply my patch?
