OK, this is a good example of why n_() was used. Constants like this
are set at import time, and are not evaluated each time through the
code. So by using the no-op function, the strings are localized, but
not eval'd at import time. Then in the code that uses them, you'd wrap
references to them in the _() function, so that they would be
localized like other strings at the time they are used.
