Comment:

 The old way of adding context to strings was to use a bar. For example,
 `_c('Post|noun')`. The translators would keep the bar in and  _c() would
 strip off everything after the last bar.

 We now use gettext context, thus it is a separate argument. It's not a
 drop-in replacement, as what would go after a bar instead needs to be its
 own argument.

 If you use makepot, the context will carry into the various files.

 Tickets are not the correct place to ask these questions. It seems to be a
 pattern of some of your tickets. That's okay, but you'd be better off
 trying a mailing list or IRC.
