Let me second that. It would be good to see far more such messages. Is
this something we need to encourage more?

My understanding is that "string change" means "change to a string
marked for translation" - i.e., in PO file terminology, an actual
msgid. Hence this is not a string change.

Besides, if this were a string change, you would *definitely* have
heard about it in loud, angry voices by now. Note that I don't recommend this
observation as a basis for a test to deterimine whether future changes are
string changes or not -- i.e. do it, and if the translators hunt you
down afterwards, it was a string change. :)
