Maybe I didn't make it clear that we are removing %.  The programmer is
being forced to use string.fmt().  This is not just some optional
library thing.  

If the programmer wants his app to be translatable then he will use
_"xxx" when there are no args and _"xxx".fmt(args) when there are args.
If he doesn't use those then he is just saying it is not an i18n
program.  If he does use _"xxx" and _"xxx".fmt(args) then the proposal
claims the text is fully translatable by the translator no matter what
the programmer does.

I am serious about wanting you to shoot holes in the proposal's logic.
