TEXT is missing in 7.2

Prat and wowlua access this, but blizzard removed it. I thought it was changed to text cause of this

Wowlua is calling TEXT(OKAY) and TEXT(CANCEL), my guess is text is a textbox object? and those are buttons.

I don't know if I'm just wrong but as you can see TEXT() is simply a function that returns its argument
https://github.com/Gethe/wow-ui-sour...ls.xml#L54-L59
Code:
-- This function is used to translate text (DEPRECATED: actually it's already translated as-is)
function TEXT(text)
	return text
end
No idea why WowLua and Prat used that and don't remember if this behaved differently in previous expanions

Given that it's listed under Localisation, I presume it once did more. A lot of addons use it currently, Clique, Prat, MoveAnything, XLoot etc.
