Probably Ludo can explain better, but the main difference I see is that
leave (guix diagnostics) calls exit, so the client code now can handle
these errors and it isn't forced to exit.

The patch LGTM.  Just one extra comment, this changes some format
strings, so we shouldn't forget to send the latest pot files to TP as
soon as we generate the branch for the release.

Happy hacking!
Miguel
