Well, the reason why we recommend to non-experts to not use function calls inside gettext() _is_ that xgettext then cannot determine the possible set of strings that can be the argument of gettext() and put this set into the POT file. There is no other reason. If you are expert enough to ensure that all possible strings appear in the POT file, you can use function calls as argument. Thanks Clytie for the forward.
