 Sometimes it'd be ideal to skip outputting translations which match their
 originals, for example, in WordPress if a translation isn't provided in a
 po/mo file, we fall back to the original.

 It'd be really helpful if, especially for the `en_*` locales to be able to
 skip exporting those strings.

 The logic is a little complicated, so i'm not 100% sure how to handle it;
 {{{
 compare singulars
 if ( plural ) {
   compare singulars
   compare all plurals match original_plural
 }
 }}}

 I guess this could be done at the SQL level rather harshly:
 {{{
  WHERE ( t.translation_0 != o.singular && ( ISNULL( t.translation_1 ) OR
 t.translation_1 != o.plural ) && ISNULL( t.translation_2 ) OR
 t.translation_2 != o.plural ) ... )
 }}}

 it could also be done at the PHP level with ease, however, GlotPress lacks
 the filters to achieve this in a plugin.
