Comment:

 I'll accept this, since there is a difference in behaviour.

 Given the code in `trans_null.py`, I'm not quite sure how the issue
 arrises:

 {{{
 def gettext(message):
     return message


 gettext_noop = gettext_lazy = _ = gettext
 }}}

 Here `gettext_lazy` (and `_`) don't actually use `lazy`, so I'm not 100%
 sure how the equivalent line from the report comes up:

 {{{
 gettext_lazy_noop = lazy(gettext_noop, str)
 }}}

 However, you've hit it in the wild, so I must presume it does 🤔

 I wonder if forcing a string from `gettext()` in the the `trans_null` case
 makes sense?


 {{{

 Resolves the reported issue but I don't know if it would have other
 consequences.
