nodejs: Users are not aware of the "full-icu" option

[kevinmartin]

Greetings from the Node.js Intl Working Group.

When installing the node, although there is an option to install with-full-icu, we feel that the option is hidden to the average user.

It would be great if a message could be displayed after installation (when installing without full-icu support) informing the user that they only have English locale support and that if they would like full support, to reinstall the formula with the with-full-icu option.

Don't have a massive problem with the proposed idea.

What are Node doing upstream these days? Is small-icu support the default in your binaries?

[srl295]

@DomT4 it's the default, but we are looking into how to add a checkbox (or equivalent) for "click here to install full data to a well known spot". For brew, the full support could be a separate bottle that depends on the core node one.

Added a caveat in de802bc.

If full support ever became the upstream default we'd be happy to change accordingly. Making it a separate formula is tricky as doing so would violate our broad rule that one formula should not dump in another's prefix. We've made exceptions recently, but we prefer not to when at all possible.

Let us know if we can help further at all.
