Gate is text-gatherer. A text-gatherer is like a text-editor, but much
more lightweight and unobtrusive.
If you have a program or shell script that asks people to enter a small
chunk of text, a text-gatherer like Gate is a good way to do it. It
doesn't clear the screen (annoying if there were just some instructions
printed there). It doesn't require you to know a lot of obscure editing
commands. It doesn't make excessive demands on the intelligence of your
terminal emulation software.
It does provide a number of features that make it easier for novice users
to produce good text. It does word-wrap, prints a prompt on each new line,
and allows backspacing from the currently line onto previous lines. It
also provides features that a more experienced user can use. You can call
up normal editor, or use some of gate's simple-minded editing
commands. You can read in files, or save your text to a file. You can
filter your text through something like the Unix "fmt" command. It
provides a nice spell-checking interface too.

Extend expiration of ports broken with -fno-common
Extend the expiration of unmaintained leaf ports that are broken with
-fno-common and previously had a short expiration date. The new date is set
to 2021-04-01, meaning the ports will be in the 2021Q2 branch, giving people
until 2021-06-30 (10 months from now) to fix issues.
Improve the wording of the deprecation message, mentioning both llvm 11 and
-fno-common.
Bump portrevision to force reinstall. This way the warning message about
deprecation will be displayed to users installing or reinstalling the
software.
MFH: 2020Q3 (maybe)
Remove indefinite articles and trailing periods from COMMENT, plus
minor COMMENT typos and surrounding whitespace fixes. Categories D-F.

Bump portrevision due to upgrade of devel/gettext.
The affected ports are the ones with gettext as a run-dependency
according to ports/INDEX-7 (5007 of them) and the ones with USE_GETTEXT
in Makefile (29 of them).
