I'd like to kill the very idea of the following comment while it's
young and unable to put up a fight :)

This would suck even more in case of translations, so if you can
avoid this kind of string composition, please do so.
(This problem is already evident in Metacity, where we've got "Move
to Workspace Blah", and when declinations are involved, with the same
name being used both in nominative ["this is Workspace Blah"] and
accusative ["move to Workspace Blah"], we get crap.)
Thanks for your attention,
