We'll see. Personally, I'm more worried about how people who don't speak
english are supposed to choose function and variable names. But translating
_just_ the patch is not the end of it, and I wanted to make that clear.
I suppose a translator can always push back and ask for a _concise_ review,
for the sake of translation. But let's not invent problems before they
actually occur...
