Hmph, so idea is that appending translation of "/s" to translation
of "1.4MiB" may not be a good enough translation of "1.4MiB/s"?

That does sounds like a good idea, but looking at the heavy
duplication of implementation, I would have to say "Yuck" to it.

I wonder if an approach like the following illustration would work
better?  I am not sure how well Q_() and N_() would interact with
each other, though.
