Before:
$ nmcli c modify Dukkha ipv4.ignore no
Error: invalid property 'ignore': 'ignore' is ambiguous (ignore-auto-routes x (null)).
After:
$ nmcli c modify Dukkha ipv4.ignore no
Error: invalid property 'ignore': 'ignore' is ambiguous (ignore-auto-routes x ignore-auto-dns).
Use the same form everywhere: "TRANSLATORS" instead of "Translators".
The manual also seems to prefer the upper-case form [1].
$ sed 's/\<Translators\>: /TRANSLATORS: /g' $(git grep -l Translators) -i

when input matched the heading of two allowed values the match was
reported as ambiguous without checking if there was a perfect match
following: fixed.
Example of a failing input:
const char **allowed = [ "ipv4, ipv6, ip" ];
const char *input = "ip";
"ip" was detected as ambiguous.
Add a new device state reason code for unsupported IP method. It is
returned, for example, when users select manual IP configuration for
WWAN connections:
# nmcli connection mod Gsm ipv4.method manual ipv4.address 1.2.3.4/32
# nmcli connection up Gsm
Error: Connection activation failed: The selected IP method is not
supported
compared to the old:
Error: Connection activation failed: IP configuration could not be
reserved (no available address, timeout, etc.)
Note that we could instead fail the connection validation if the
method is not supported by the connection type, but adding such
limitation now could make existing connections invalid.

Makes sense in order for the user to know that they're actually typing
the password (edited just to illustrate the point, the actual output was
shamefully messy and perhaps needs fixing too):
$ nmcli c up Wrathmosphere
Passwords or encryption keys are required to access the wireless network 'Wrathmosphere'.
Password (802-1x.password): *********
Having it in libnm doesn't make any sense and prevents using it for more
internal functionality.
Too bad nm_utils_wifi_strength_bars() is already a public API.
No problem -- replace it with a compatible yet dumber equivalent.
In most cases, it copies the entire strv needlessly.
We can do better.
Also, the max_tokens argument is handled wrongly (albeit
not used anywhere anymore).
In a later commit we'll add a new generic client function used by
nmcli and nmtui. nm-client-utils.c seems the right place for it, so
move the file to the base library that is used by both clients.
While at it, also put in that file some functions that will be needed
by nmtui.
This changes behavior, in that yes|no prompt and answer is no longer
localized.
For command line arguments, I think it is always wrong for nmcli to
behave differently based on the localization. That is, input properties
on command line should not be translated.
One could make an argument, that in interactive mode that is different
and the user can be prompted in the his language.
But I think for consistency, it is wrong to ask for localized nmcli input.
These functions are only used by nm-meta-setting-desc.c. Make them internal.
Unfortunately, they are part of "common.h" which cannot be used without
the rest of nmcli. Still todo.
