AFAIR from my reading of [02/11], the encoding side did not special
case the payload that has <ebg13> or </ebg13>; if we want to make it
reversible conversion (which is excellent improvement over the
current "# GETTEXT_POISON #" obfuscation), we'd need to do something
about it, I think.

But on second thought, nobody can prevent a caller to die(_("%s", msg));
to have "<rot13>" in the msg part, so perhaps punting like this
series does is sufficient.  I dunno.

And the user of this looks quite straightforward and nice.
