I definitely wouldn't want to change the default behavior.  There
might be people depending on this.

But I wouldn't object a patch which allows to customize the behavior.
Probably with an envvar

   GETTEXT_EXPAND=territory:encoding

This would get you the default behavior.  With

   GETTEXT_EXPAND=territory

you'd get what you propose.  People could have this in a file in
/etc/profile.d or their private shell rc script if they want.
