Ah, of course, I misspoke. The original "\n<message>\n" requests
that an empty line that is commented, followed by a line with the
message that is also commented, is given at that point. The last
commented blank was my mistake.
In any case, I do not understand why you want to exclude the LFs
from the message. If a translation for a particular language is
very long and would not fit on a single line, the translator is
allowed to make the message much longer, i.e. the translated version
of the <message> part may contain one or more LFs (which is what the
add-commented-lines function was invented for). I'd think having
LFs in the to-be-translated-original will serve as a good hint to
signal translators that is the case.
