Perhaps it was a little nit-picking to include it. I just thought that
especially for the master text, things should be as clear and unambiguous as
possible, so either a note for translators, or a different wording might be in
place.

One more thing: is there a way to quote directly from the source file in
poedit? Currently, I have the po file open in vim and search for the strings I
come across in poedit. It works, but it would have been nice to be able to do
it directly in poedit.
