If I had to do it over again, I would have used $name in i18n source
strings from the start. It would have saved lots of headaches and
broken translations. People just seem to get $names whereas they get
%(name)s wrong too often.
(Little known MM2.1 fact: you can actually convert your headers and
footers to $name substitutions, but it's a hack. Later, it might be
required. One of the outgrowths of experimenting with this was to add
a %(name)s checker and now bogus names in the %(...)s are flagged as
errors, while missing trailing `s's are flagged as warnings and
auto-corrected.)
