Be careful... _() is already defined as an alias for gettext()
I have a feeling that would cause a ton of compatibility issues. Some
time ago, I looked at the magento source code, and they were using
__(), which seems like a reasonable alternative.
When internationalizing an app, you often need to write code like:
printf(l10n('<b>%s</b> wants to be your friend'),
htmlspecialchars($friend_name) );
It is handy to make your shortcut behave like printf when there is
more than 1 argument.
