Rather:

  (properties '((output-descriptions
                  ("send-email" (synopsis "send email!")))))

That is, instead of calling ‘G_’, you just use one of the keywords
xgettext recognizes (see ‘po/packages/Makevars’).  The actual call to
‘gettext’ would then be made in (guix ui).

I wonder if we’re going overboard though?
