What *is* Bahasa Indonesia? I was under the impression that
it really *was* an conlang/auxlang. Or is it just a formalized
and simplified unification of several dialects? Or another
thing?

What do you call a particular language if was developed over time
by a lot of people? A pidgin/creole, or an auxlang? Can you draw
the line?
