% Loads babel-malagasy and checks \today and \malagasyweekdayname
% render the expected Malagasy text. \today is forced into an
% overfull \hbox (via \hsize=1pt) so its expansion is echoed into
% the .log for comparison, because \today is not safe to use
% inside \message (its ini-locale implementation is not
% fully-expandable; see docs/linguistic-policy.md).
