Those I'm rather sure of, but I'd not bet anything that they are the
only ones..
But as said, IMO such special helpers and optimizations are not really
worth the hassle, as most translators do not care and are happier if they
have more context and that the end result is OK, not that they have a
dozen strings, or so, less to translate..
I think the
Ext.String.format(gettext('Default ({0})'), gettext('Free'))
is really the biggest reuse one would get, and it needs no special new
helpers and we have that pattern quite a few time, so IMO worth it.
btw. @Maximiliano: "Free" is rather a bad original text for the
component in question anyway, should be probably rather "Unrestricted".
