It also occurs to me now that an adjective out-of-context might be more
properly in one or another gender form ("Light" here applies to a "Theme"
but you don't know that just reading .pot entries). It's more English
grammar bias to neglect genders.
But I do not want to multiply worries now.

Yes, it's possible where English might have a pun that we can disambiguate
using "context" as well as msgid, but we aren't yet that sophisticated in
our use of gettext tools yet.
