Default __() parameters causes problems

Our previous, cake1.1, code was internationalized using php's gettext
library and the function _().

Cake1.2 now uses __(), which is great, because doesn't require us to
"compile" .po files anymore.

However, the default behaviour of __() is to echo the translated
string, instead of returning it, therefore I'm having a lot of heavy
work going from _( $a ) to __( $a, true ). I have a regexp for
translating _() to __(), but I couldn't figure out how to insert the
",end" parameter in the end of the call.

I though to create a patch in the __() function to change the default
value, but I don't want to have my own "version" of cakephp.

Or, I may create

function ___($a) { return __($a,true); }

I _really_ think cakephp designers should make the second parameters
true by default, to turn the transition easy. However, I need my code
functioning in CAKE 1.2. Do anybody have some tip?
