In the context of __d(), 'cake_dev' is the domain for the translation.
Rather than looking in default.po for the translation, the function will
look in cake_dev.po. Likewise, when the i18n shell script generates the
.pot file, it will create cake_dev.pot, instead of default.pot.
The thought occurs to me that you just may be trolling. Well played, sir,
well played.
