Thanks for doing that. Additionally, how about documenting this
(non-obvious) convention? Something like this:
*** argp.h 10 Jan 2006 21:49:07 -0000 1.11
--- argp.h 9 Sep 2006 14:53:48 -0000
***************
*** 243,249 ****
/* If non-NULL, a string containing extra text to be printed before and
after the options in a long help message (separated by a vertical tab
! `\v' character). */
const char *doc;
/* A vector of argp_children structures, terminated by a member with a 0

! Write the initial value as N_("BEFORE-TEXT") "\v" N_("AFTER-TEXT") if
! you want xgettext to collect the two pieces of text into a POT file. */
const char *doc;
/* A vector of argp_children structures, terminated by a member with a 0
Also, one could mention the need of N_(...) in the documentation of
the field 'doc' of struct argp_option as well:
*** argp.h 10 Jan 2006 21:49:07 -0000 1.11
--- argp.h 9 Sep 2006 14:59:55 -0000
