I think you are responding to what Ævar said, but the string this
patch is modifying is already inside N_(), and modifying a string
that is already marked for translation in any way (other than
removing the N_() or _() around it) incurs the cost to translate the
updated string already, with or without any separate patch.
If we are adding a new die() call that uses a new message, we should
mark the message for translation from the beginning. The messages
produced by die/warning/error are meant to be read by human users,
so unless there is some very strong reason not to, they should be
marked for translation.
