I have nothing against defining grub_putl_ (str); equivalent to
grub_printf ("%s\n", str); (defined as function if it's used extensively
for space reasons).
Just from your previous mails it seemed that you proposed to transform
strings like
grub_printf (_("Moving file %s to %s."), f1, f2); to grub_printf ("%s %s
%s %s.", _("Moving file"), f1, _("to"), f2);
to avoid translating format-strings which would be completely
untranslatable.
