Comment (by ckanitz):

 Thanks for the feedback! I got the idea of your recommendation and agree,
 that `has_translation()` should be part of the `Translate()` (and
 `NOOP_Translate()`) class in `translations.php` and a wrapper in
 `l10n.php`.

 But that's just for the helper functions, which is nice to have, but
 wouldn't be quiet "elegant" if you'd have to loop over a bunch of strings
 instead of just calling the known translation functions with an extra
 parameter tweaking the returned value.

 We've started with an own function but since it was just a copy of `__` we
 dropped it and thought about a more DRY approach with a new optional
 nonbreaking parameter.

 If it's a real "no-go" to update the existing functions I'd propose for a
 new function after all but could need some help to find a better name
 instead of `__i18n_exists`.
