Namespace lookup does not include fallback keys

[tf]

What I tried to do

Given locales like:

en:
  namespace:
    some: "some text"
    other: "other text"

de:
  namespace:
    some "etwas Text" 

What I expected to happen

Looking up a single translation falls back to default locale:

I18n.locale = :de
I18n.default_locale = :en
I18n.t('namespace.some') # => "etwas Text"
I18n.t('namespace.other') # => "other text"

Looking up a namespace should return the same results as an object:

I18n.locale = :de
I18n.default_locale = :en
I18n.t('namespace') # => {some: "etwas Text", other: "other text"}

What actually happened

Since the namespace key is found, fallback logic does not kick in:

I18n.locale = :de
I18n.default_locale = :en
I18n.t('namespace') # => {some: "etwas Text"}

Versions of i18n, rails, and anything else you think is neccessary

I18n 0.8.1
Rails 4.2

This might be complex on computation, as it requires run logic on each key located inside the namespace. Are you using Fallbacks module for your backend or is it Simple (default) backend?

[tf]

I'm not doing anything special, so I guess I'm using the Simple backend, but with config.i18n.fallbacks = true in the Rails environment. Not sure if that means I'm using the Fallbacks backend. Without that setting, there appears to be no fallback to the default locale at all.

For my special use case of needing to extract all translations from a specific namespace including the fallbacks, I worked around the current behavior by doing a second namespace lookup in the default locale and performing a deep merge.

From my point of view, it would be more consistent if that was the default behavior, but I'm not sure I understand all the implications and also there might be a performance trade off.

Hi, this issue might be fixed by #387. Could you please try it out and let me know?

[tf]

@radar Tried 0.9.0 and saw unchanged behavior far as I can tell.
