9.11 Highlighting parts of PO files
===================================

   Translators are usually only interested in seeing the untranslated
and fuzzy messages of a PO file.  Also, when a message is set fuzzy
because the msgid changed, they want to see the differences between the
previous msgid and the current one (especially if the msgid is long and
only few words in it have changed).  Finally, it’s always welcome to
highlight the different sections of a message in a PO file (comments,
msgid, msgstr, etc.).

   Such highlighting is possible through the ‘msgcat’ options ‘--color’
and ‘--style’.
