Argh, sorry. I meant to write "The gettext module might be vulnerable to more 
than f-string attacks.".

May I suggest that you have a look at my old patch? It uses an AST visitor to 
inspect the AST of a gettext plural expression. It allows only a limited set of 
AST types as well as limited amount of expressions. I consider it a superior 
solution and a fix for more generic attacks.

I haven't tested my patch with f-strings yet. It either refuses f-strings 
FormattedValue already or can be easily modified to reject it.
