I think we try to use just test_grep instead of test_i18ngrep these days.

Thanks for reminding.  I am tempted to suggest doing this.

Subject: test_i18ngrep: hard deprecate and forbid its use

Since v2.44.0-rc0~109 (Merge branch 'sp/test-i18ngrep', 2023-12-27)
none of the tests we have, either in 'master' or in flight and
collected in 'seen', use test_i18ngrep.

Perhaps it is good time to update test_i18ngrep to BUG to avoid
people adding new calls to it.
