Admittedly, https://metacpan.org/pod/Catalyst::Plugin::I18N uses a similar
method using l() instead of t().

I suppose I wouldn't mind t() that much (although the Java way of doing it is
still better I think) if that were the only macro we were required to use, but
Bug 26392 introduces t(), tx(), tnx(), txn(), tp(), tpx(), tnp(), tnpx(). 

In my opinion, it's a bit absurd to expect developers to use 8 different macros
which look almost exactly the same. 

I think that it'll make front-end developments take 10x* as long, as QA will
constantly need to be telling people to re-do their templates. 

But I could be wrong. Maybe we'll all get used to the 8 different macros. 

I was going to say that I'll probably just stop contributing template changes
to Koha, but I guess I'm on the QA team these days, so I should probably
memorize them. 

*arbitrary order of magnitude
