More than one people explicitly said that they do not want to see this in Klingon. Even if the system is fully internationalized, these "... (+), ... (-)" should never be localized, just like we will never localize "diff --git", "index f00f..abcd", etc.

In other words, it is not a "regression" to begin with. Turning this back to "C" is a bugfix. We shouldn't have had marked it with _() in the first place.
