According to the documentation it is:
"A descriptive string about this program; if it contains a
vertical tab character (\v), the part after it will be
printed *following* the options"
which means that character is necessary in this place and should
be preserved by translators. What kind of warning can you see?
Is it OK if we just ignore the warning?
