I agree.

I agree.  Let's also add a test that shows this difference (my 0002
here).

I'm annoyed that this saga has transiently created a few untranslated
strings by removing unnecessary quotes but failing to move the variable
names outside the translatable part of the string.  I change a few of
those in 0003 -- mostly the ones in strings already touched by commit
8d9978a7176a, but also a few others.  Didn't go out of my way to grep
for other possible messages to fix, though.  (I feel like this is
missing some "translator:" comments.)
