The discussion so far seems to point at modifying 'message= ' and the likes so that developers don't have to bother=C2=A0with a= ny l10n mechanism on their part (besides for writing clean strings).

Internally, they all boil down to a s= mall set of C functions, which is
where we should make these changes.

Since it's C, I'm not going to be able to contribu= te to that before I understand the language, and the function definitions. = I guess it's time I open that K&R that's been on my shelves for= ever...
