Re: switch from context to msgctxt?

[Gil Forcada <gil gnome gmail com>]

having a context in all msgid it's not always useful, but for some
languges it could be useful

for instance, in Catalan we distinguish if you "open folder" it refers
to a concret folder (i.e. you have already had chosen one and it's a
button to open it) or an un-concret one (i.e. it's a button that launch
the file chooser dialog)

I'm not arguing for "context-in-every-msgid" but just point out that
maybe "duplicates" for one language aren't duplicates in another

l10n it's not easy :)

my 2 cents :)
