These gettext manual pages might be germane:
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/c_002b_002b_002dformat.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/c_002dformat-Flag.html
The first one points to the C++20 std::format (see
https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/utility/format/format) which technically
isn't what we're using for those strings, but we do want msgmerge and msgfmt to
behave as if we are, ensuring that the number of curly-brace pairs is the same
in the msgid and msgstr. As noted in the second one we can force it by adding a
comment //xgettext:c++-format in front of every boost::formatted string but it
would be nice to figure out what changed first.
