Details:

Running xgettext on the following PHP code does not add the translation
comments to the generated .po file:


<?php

// L10N: Here is a comment
dgettext(
    'Core',
    'Some text'
);


Generated .po file:

# SOME DESCRIPTIVE TITLE.
# Copyright (C) YEAR THE PACKAGE'S COPYRIGHT HOLDER
# This file is distributed under the same license as the PACKAGE package.
# FIRST AUTHOR <address@hidden>, YEAR.
#
#, fuzzy

msgstr ""

"Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit\n"

#: tmp.php:6
msgid "Some text"
msgstr ""


Playing about with comments, I found that I had to put the translation comment
immediately above the "Some text" line instead of above the function
invocation which makes the code confusing to read for future developers.
