add a string utility for pluralizing

[arschles]

It would be a nice utility to be able to pluralize a string. For example, {{ pluralize 1 "anchovy" "anchovies" }} would return anchovy, but ``{{ pluralize 2 "anchovy" "anchovies" }}would returnanchovies`

Great idea.

I'm trying to figure out what the right order of params would be. Is it more likely to be: {{len foo | pluralize "anchovy" "anchovies"}}?

Optionally, we could do {{pluralize "1 thinger", "%d thingers" $len}} and do the substitution for the user.

Okay, that last part was a bad idea, since it would then require a %d, which is silly.
