OK, next question. Why does xgettext pull comments? For the assistance
of the translator?
Looking at the diff, your new version uses "/*------" to mark the
comments --- that will prevent pgindent from modifying the comment, so
perhaps that is the right solution. One thing we could do is look for
"/* translator" comments and manually change them.
