They are handled independently now and the latter can be influenced by
the new BaseCommand.leave_locale_alone internal option.
Thanks chrischambers for the report, Claude, lpiatek, neaf and gabooo for
their work on a patch, originally on refs. #17379.
They are simply ignored now. This allows for a more correct behavior when
they are placed before translatable constructs on the same line.
Previously, the latter were wrongly ignored because the former were
preserved when converting template code to the internal Python-syntax
form later fed to xgettext but Python has no ``/* ... */``-style
comments.
Also, special comments directed to translators are now only taken in
account when they are located at the end of a line. e.g.::
{# Translators: ignored #}{% trans "Literal A" %}{# Translators: valid, associated with "Literal B" below #}
{% trans "Literal B" %}
Behavior of ``{% comment %}...{% endcomment %}``tags remains unchanged.
Thanks juneih at redpill-linpro dot com for the report and Claude for
his work on the issue.
Thanks a lot to everybody participating in developing this feature.
The patch was developed by multiple people, at least Trac aliases
tonnzor, jimmysong, Fandekasp and slurms.
Stylistic changes added by committer.
The guarantee that no queries will be made when accessing results is
done by new EmptyWhere class which is used for query.where and having.
Thanks to Simon Charette for reviewing and valuable suggestions.
