Hmph.
I am not very happy with this change, as it would force us to
special case "Translators" comment to follow a non-standard
multi-line comment formatting convention. Is there a way to tell
xgettext to accept both of these forms?
/* TRANSLATORS: this is a short comment to help you */
_("foo bar");
/*
* TRANSLATORS: this comment is to help you, but it is
* a lot longer to fit on just a single line.
*/
_("bar baz");
