These are function names and not to be translated.
These are "developer debug" strings, which I'm tempted to remove entirely.

Certainly "simple_strtod_human:\n" should not be translated,
as it's referring to the identifier.

Since the source code is written in English, we can safely
assume developers read English, so there's no point to translating
messages intended only for developers.

Both factor and numfmt recently introduced devel debug messages,
enabled by --verbose and ---devdebug respectively.
I've cleaned this up in the attached so that both use the same
method to output the messages, and both now enable these messages
with the the same ---debug option.
Also translations are removed from these messages,
and a syntax check added to stop future translations sneaking in in future.

thanks,
Pádraig.
