At the moment it doesn't throw anything away because an existing .ts is 
updated rather than re-created.

As a monoglot, I've never used pylupdate so I don't have an 
understanding of how it is really used. Let me know the specific 
behaviour you want and I'll implement it.

So when it sees a string in a new context it automatically gives it an 
existing translation it if finds one?

Ok - when used with the --verbose flag.
