Well, the feature I have is to inject garbage into the gettext strings

that functionality calling it NO_GETTEXT_POISON makes sense.

But I plan to add something to smoke other languages etc. later. Then
I might name that other prerequisite something else.
On second thought, another possibility would be _two_ prerequisites,
one NO_GETTEXT_POISON one and one ENGLISH one.  The weird edge cases
could require NO_GETTEXT_POISON, causing the reader to look to
t/README to figure out what is going on.  The others would just use
ENGLISH.

Does that sound reasonable?
