Ha, didn't even notice that. I'm not sure this happens very oftne.

No, it couldn't, since then it might be hard to translate into some
languages. IN general, we must avoid message framgents because we don't
know that words or even parts of sentences come in the same order in
different languages. The classical example is
printf("%d file%s processed", n, N== 1 ? "" : "s");
but it applies here too. We've been removed such cases during _() work.
YOu may read more abou thtat in the gettext manual.

They could use the same format, but they escape different characters. I'm
not sure there is much to share here, if we don't make it table-dirven
ofcourse.
Thanks for reviewing,
