	- there are tons of third-party codebase that use gettext(3) exist.
	  we can do nothing about it.
	- catgets(3) is much harder to use from programmer's point of view,
	  as it require us to assign unique message ID number manually.
	  gettext(3) is easier as it uses the string itself as the cookie,
	  and gettext(1) will help us generate message catalog file.
	- gettext.info says that catgets(3) has some issue (security?).
	  i don't remember the exact detail, if you have time please check.
	  info file has a dedicated seciton for it.
