This API is used only in the locale kit development tools, in the
process of collecting the strings to translate in a C++ file, then
linking them into a binary catalog. We only want to allow that on
Haiku's catalog type, in order to avoid people creating catalogs in
other formats (such as Zeta's one) with our tools.
The plaintext catalog add on is used only in this case, to allow
editing the catalog as a simple textfile before linking it. There is
no other use for it in other add ons.
