Completely irrelevant to your main question, but maybe worth some
thought is my recently debutted Locale::Maketext::Simple wrapper,
which lets you do:

    use Locale::Maketext::Simple (Style => 'gettext');
    print loc(
	"Some big5 here with %1, %2 and %quant(%3,thing,things)",
	"foo", "bar", "baz"
    );

That is, it automagically converts it into Maketext's notation:

    [_1], [_2], [quant,_3,thing,things]

Which neatly sidesteps the problem.
