[development] Why function t() arguments are not passed through t() again ?

[Juan Rodriguez]

Hello,

I am trying to translate what comes from the following piece of code inside
node.module:node_add()

....
    drupal_set_title(t('Submit @name', array('@name' =>
$types[$type]->name)));
....

Using localization I can translate "Submit @name" to "Enviar @name".

The problem is that the node type name is written in english and I can not
change that name
without breaking a lot of custom pages.

I wonder why the previous line is not written this way:

...
    drupal_set_title(t('Submit @name', array('@name' =>
t($types[$type]->name))));
...

Another option would be to modify function t(), to automatically pass all
arguments through
t().

Do you see any problem with modifiying t() ?
