That sounds reasonable, yet MessageTool does not extend from
ResourceTool, so a bunch of capability is lost with that conflict. Would
it be reasonable for MessageResourcesTool to extend ResourceTool?

(I just realized that ResourceTool is "locale-ized" and therefore should
probably not be in my application scope. Either that, or
MessageTool.render should have another method that accepts a Locale
argument).
