In the body of a reminder, the substitution sequence \fB%(\fItext\fR\fB)\fR

In the body of a reminder, the substitution sequence
\fB%(\fItext\fR\fB)\fR is (almost) the equivalent of
\fB[_("\fItext\fR\fB")]\fR. Therefore, the following reminders are
almost equivalent:
.PP
.nf
REM MSG %(Goodbye)
REM MSG [_("Goodbye")]
.fi
.PP
The only difference is that if _("Goodbye") contains a \fB%\fR sign,
then that result will be run through the substitution filter, whereas
in the first reminder, it will not. That is because the second
\fBREM\fR command performs expression pasting followed by a
substitution filter pass, while the first one performs the translation
as part of the substitution filter (and does not make a second
substitution filter pass.)
