  53    The first, primary use case for N_ is a context in which a string
  54    literal is required, such as an initializer.  Translation will
  55    happen later, for example using the __gettext function.
  56
  57    The second, historic, use case involves strings which may be
  58    translated in a future version of the library, but cannot be
  59    translated in current releases due to some technical limitation
  60    (e.g., gettext not being available in the dynamic loader).  No
  61    translation at run time happens in such cases.  In the future, this
  62    historic usage of N_ may become deprecated.  Strings which are not
  63    translated create unnecessary work for the translation team.  We
  64    continue to use N_ because it helps mark translatable strings.  */
