Extractor
     ‘xgettext -L Guile -k_’

     ‘xgettext -L Scheme’ and ‘xgettext -L Guile’ are nearly equivalent.
     They differ in the interpretation of escape sequences in string
     literals: While ‘xgettext -L Scheme’ assumes the R6RS and R7RS
     syntax of string literals, ‘xgettext -L Guile’ assumes the syntax
     of string literals understood by Guile 2.x and 3.0 (without
     command-line option ‘--r6rs’ or ‘--r7rs’, and before a ‘#!r6rs’
     directive is seen).  After a ‘#!r6rs’ directive, there is no
     difference any more between ‘xgettext -L Scheme’ and ‘xgettext -L
     Guile’ for the rest of the file.
