The Add function adds definition of the language langname to CodeGeneration's table of recognized languages.  This language is then available for use by Translate and Get.

The Get function retrieves the definition of langname.  Note that Get will return a module definition for any defined language, regardless of whether the language has been defined using Define or Add.

The module definition moddef must satisfy certain criteria: see LanguageModule.
