I wondered if that might be the case. Fair enough, then. Perhaps the
duplicate messages option is cleanest without a large development
overhead. Bit of a headache for internationalizing, but I think the
FatMessages file uses a dot-separated hierarchical structure for key
names, doesn't it? So you could have en.ro.AppHelp and
en.ro.AppHelp.NoFunc, for example, to keep it clean, perhaps?
