GNU gettext utilities

Translatable strings are marked by instantiating the tr template, like so:

writeln(tr!"Translatable message");

If you'd rather use an underscore to mark translatable strings, [as the GNU gettext documentation suggests](https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Mark-Keywords.html), you can use an alias:

import gettext : _ = tr;    // Customary in GNU software.
writeln(_!"Translatable message");
