@vovafeldman what about using PHP magic methods to remove this now? The following during my testing won't trigger PHP 7 notices, but should theoretically work the same.

public function __call( $method, $args ) {
    if ( $method == '__fs' ) {
        // Do translation here.
    }
}

For reference: http://php.net/manual/en/language.oop5.overloading.php#object.call

@danieliser as far as I know magic methods are for classes, the __fs() is a global function, not a class' method.
