is this really necessary ? I mean, do we really need to localise the start 
and end of stereotype symbols (that's << and >> for those who pick up the
conversation); aren't they a fixed quantity already ? (I also fear this
comes as a burden to translators who aren't using an UTF-8 .po file: they're
going to see only garbage, and will probably mis-translate it).

It may be desireable to find a way to fall back on "<<" and ">>" (ie,
two-character ASCII representation) whenever the current local charset does
not feature the << and >> proper characters; this doesn't need to rely on
the gettext infrastructure, does it ?
