Core is a meta-module that consists of common and useful Lua functions that can 
be used in many Lua scripts. It was writen as a core of several Lua 
modules for creating file infobox templates on Commons. Many of the functions
are bare-bones versions of full functions found in other modules.

Based on frame structure create "args" table with all the input parameters:
 * table keys - equivalent to template parameters are converted to lower case 
                so they will not be case-sensitive.
                Also underscored are treated the same way as speces. 
 * table values - input values are trimmed (whitespaces removed from the beggining 
                and the end) and empty string are converted to nils. 
If "lang" is not provided than we substitute user's prefered language.

This function collects inputs from both frame and frame's parent. See 
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#frame:getParent .
If both structures have the same field than value from "frame" takes priority.

Inputs:
	1) frame - frame objects see below for details
	https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Scribunto/Lua_reference_manual#frame-object

See also: Module:Arguments on enWiki - which is much larger single purpose module

Simplified code equivalent to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:LangSwitch

Example usage:
  text = langSwitch({en='text in english', pl='tekst po polsku'}, lang)

Outputs:
  1: label - returned label
  2: lang  - language of the label (langSwitchWithLang only)

display a language followed by a message. Like "English: Hello" with extensive HTML marking
Code equivalent to https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template:Description 
Inputs:
  1) text_lang - language code for the above text, also used as a name of the CSS formating class
  2) text - description text to display
  3) args -  additional optional arguments. Numbers in perenthesis are parameter numbers in the original template.
	   * hover    - (3) hover aka mouseover aka tooltip text
	   * lang_tag - (4) standard code for lang tag in HTML (optional, default is same as text_lang)
	   * ext      - (5) extension text shown after the language name before colon (optional, default is empty)
       * inline - Optional, default is false. When set to true, forces the template to be displayed 
            inline, so that it does not break the current paragraph (that makes possible to put several 
	        descriptions side by side on a single line)
