It will be very cool if this extra information is given. It can even be
useful as an extra entry in the #: comments.
I agree that msgctxt should only be used for disambiguation context. Not
notes from the programmers to help translators (although the context
will obviously also help :-)
What we might need to do is to adapt intltool to add the extra comment
when creating the POT file from the .glade file.
