...what I really *love* to see in bash, is a /$'string'/ feature,
which doesn't parse any «`» or «$» characters.
So you want a translation feature without any further interpretation? Or
one just without command substitution?
What about an option to enable this variant behavior? What do you think
would be a suitable name?
It'd be perfectly fine if non interpreted locale string was reserved for
format string of the built-in printf, and supported positional arguments.
Example:
declare -- str='Hello World!'
declare -i num=42
printf $"string: %1$s, int %2$d\n" "$str" $num
Unchanged gettext string syntax $"string" but without variable and
sub-shell expansion, and %n$ positional markers support when it is used
as a printf format string.
Would fix the security risks of variable expansion in gettext strings.
Would not overlap $'c-style string' syntax.
Would maintain variable expansion outside the printf format string
context to maintain backward compatibility.
