AFAICT from reading that you don't need to use "_(" but can use "gettext("
instead, and AFAICT no automated tools are recognizing "_("...

Why don't you use a different macro? Or better yet, enter the modern world
and use an inline function instead? ;-)


If we are really forced to switch to letters we should just use

    x.attr("foo")

We could provide parallel interfaces for people using gettext. Note also
that people can use:

    getattr(x,"foo")
    setattr(x,"bar", 2)
