Comment (by mnelson4):

 Oh, one alternative to adding `_l()`, `_le()`, `_l_esc_html()` etc would
 be to add an extra parameter onto existing translation functions that
 indicates to translate lazily (eg `__($text, $text_domain =‘’ , $lazy =
 false)`). No new translation functions, and we keep the number of them
 from growing exponentially.
