Both factor and numfmt recently introduced devel debug messages, enabled by --verbose and ---devdebug respectively. I've cleaned this up in the attached so that both use the same method to output the messages, and both now enable these messages with the the same ---debug option. Also translations are removed from these messages, and a syntax check added to stop future translations sneaking in in future. thanks, Pádraig.
