 hmm, but there is support for [] in strings in glib now, so this might
 be more populair. I guess they are not used in nautilus any longer as
 they were used for the medusa parts.
 
 But the patch should be good anyway, since it is not intltool which
 should strip the []'s, but the program showing the strings.

+Kenneth,
+
+IIRC months ago I wanted to add support for comments for the rfc822deb
+format, and you showed me what had been done with Nautilus.  Thus I
+decided to remove (Perl syntax) "\[\s[^\[\]]*\]$", see e.g.
+rfc822deb_merge_translations in intltool-merge.
+
+From the messages on this bugreport, I guess that "^\[[^\[\]]*\s\]"
+could also be a valid comment (I should have taken this one, will
+try to support both).  The key point is that a space must be present
+for this sequence to be considered as a comment, so bracketed
+expression in
+  [Save as ]Image
+is a comment whereas
+  <foo>[bar,baz]</foo>
+is not.  This space improves readability, and prevents all bracketed
+expressions from being removed.
