I see what you mean. The other question is of course whether Magritte
would work with a LazyTranslation where a String is expected. Sure you
can try to be clever and subclass String or ProtoObject but that will
probably break at some point. Maybe a better way would be a method
like #markForLaterTranslation that would answer the receiver but also
export it into the .po file?
