Thanks.

I think some of these changes might need updates in the user's manual.
Could you please look at the "Modula-2" section and its subsections,

User messages should be in _(), to allow for translations into other

"SET OF" probably won't be translated, but "<unknown>" should, so this
message should be in _() as well.
