We clearly want to avoid that.

Could we group messages that have all-or-nothing translations required, like
--help output, with separate msgctxt contexts?  So "pg_dump --help" would be
"msgctxt pg_dump_help_screen" in the po file, which then could be analyzed in
order to make the call for including translationfiles or not?
