RE: Ampersand collision checker?
btw, such an email will actually not help at all...
And suggesting for sending such a mail actually shows you don't fully undersand the scope and difficulty of this though (no offense in the slightest way!!! it's just to say that it isn't that strait forward as many might think and assume).
Patchou (heck any programmer) would never be make something like that in a way so you can check ampersand collisions topic by topic. That is simply totally useless...
For example, the 'OK', 'Cancel' and 'Apply' buttons in the preferences must be checked against all controls in all the preference panels (!). Obviously you would never find the keys for the 'OK', 'Cancel' and 'Apply' buttons in each and every section. Thàt would be unlogical and way, waaaaaaay too useless. And this is just a very simply and small example as there are also much more and much more difficult to spot scenarios were some controls need to be checked against a multiple of other controls, which on their turn depend on the presence of other controls, etc and all across different sections thruout the entire translation (eg: some menu items in Plus!3 were used in different menus at the same time and it also depended on which version of Mesenger you used, etc).
In fact, when discussing/thinking about such an application you should forget the term "ini topic" and everything related (eg: "check collissions in topic"), as that is totally inrelevant with something like this.
