But his patch changes that to
errhint("%s", _(wentry->drophint_msg))
so it ends up being run through gettext twice. Which has recently been raised
as a concern. Both of these competing issues -- the compiler warning and
double translation -- appear to be minor in practice, but we apparently have
to make a choice which one we plan to fix now and in the future.
