Indeed. I have no idea about the background; the number of possible
script manager codes was obviously limited to five bits (i.e., 32
values), so I guess Apple considered it more important to have an
separate entry for simplified Chinese (more than one billion
speakers), thus 'sacrificing' Maldivian (around 500k speakers).
> Maybe remove TT_MAC_ID_MALDIVIAN is a good idea.
Certainly not. It doesn't do any harm to have this constant.
