check_po didn't notice (at least earlier) that I had a mismatch in this
parameter:  "%3.2f" (and that mismatch would have resulted in Python
exeption).  I guess it didn't check for int/float format parameters that had
digits between the % character and the parameter type character.

I think it's good to skip these for fuzzies (sorry, I didn't know that it
skipped that check for fuzzies).   Does check_po check yet the
capitalization of the first character (for non-fuzzies :))?
