It would, in fact, be a tedious but very valuable project
for someone wanting to get to know the source code to
transform strings inside _() from

        _('something %s or other') % 'else'
to

        _('something %(tag)s or other) % {'tag': else}

This can be done on a partial basis, too, down to one string
at a time and it would protect against crashes from "faulty"
translations...
