I think he means that auto-pluralization like this cannot be done in an

i18n myself):

And that gives translators a chance to specify the entire singular and
plural versions separately.

I entirely agree. My point is only that the various tests
that expect the current behavior will have to be changed
whether the implementation of correct plurals uses my
inferior method or the way more correct i18n method.
