Default handling for missing bindings.
This function is called when there are missing bindings in a translation. It
takes a `Gettext.MissingBindingsError` struct and the translation with the
wrong bindings left as is with the `%{}` syntax.
For example, if something like this is called:
MyApp.Gettext.gettext("Hello %{name}, your favorite color is %{color}", name: "Jane", color: "blue")
and our `it/LC_MESSAGES/default.po` looks like this:
msgid "Hello %{name}, your favorite color is %{color}"
msgstr "Ciao %{name}, il tuo colore preferito è %{colour}" # (typo)
then Gettext will call:
MyApp.Gettext.handle_missing_bindings(exception, "Ciao Jane, il tuo colore preferito è %{colour}")
where `exception` is a struct that looks like this:
%Gettext.MissingBindingsError{
backend: MyApp.Gettext,
domain: "default",
locale: "it",
msgid: "Ciao %{name}, il tuo colore preferito è %{colour}",
bindings: [:colour],
}
The return value of the `c:handle_missing_bindings/2` callback is used as the
translated string that the translation macros and functions return.
The default implementation for this function uses `Logger.error/1` to warn
about the missing binding and returns the translated message with the
incomplete bindings.
This function can be overridden. For example, to raise when there are missing
bindings:
def handle_missing_bindings(exception, _incomplete) do
raise exception
end

Default handling for translations with a missing translation.
When a Gettext function/macro is called with a string to translate
into a locale but that locale doesn't provide a translation for that
string, this callback is invoked. `msgid` is the string that Gettext
tried to translate.
This function should return `{:ok, translated}` if a translation can be
fetched or constructed for the given string. If you cannot find a
translation, it should return `{:default, translated}`, where the
translated string defaults to the interpolated msgid. You can, however,
customize the default to, for example, pick the translation from the
default locale. The important is to return `:default` instead of `:ok`
whenever the result does not quite match the requested locale.

Stores an "extracted comment" for the next translation.
This macro can be used to add comments (Gettext refers to such
comments as *extracted comments*) to the next translation that will
be extracted. Extracted comments will be prefixed with `#.` in POT

Calling this function multiple times will accumulate the comments;
when another Gettext macro (such as `c:gettext/2`) is called,
the comments will be extracted and attached to that translation, and
they will be flushed so as to start again.
This macro always returns `:ok`.
