I'm surprised, specially because if I get the gettext project as a
reference:
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gettext.git/tree/gettext-runtime/src/gettext.c?id=c81a5234a673f6fbc0f8b7ea8f18ef73021b0a2e#n252

They are not doing. Other projects that I can remember where my LUG has
done things (e.g. tar) is not done in this way.

I don't have any probem to change in Grub, I just wonder if people is
expecting it :-/

I'll try to review it. Have you spotted some other one?
