Auto-suffixing for irregular plurals in verbose_name_plural

[Byeong Gyu Choi]

For verbose_name_plural option in django Model Meta, django currently appends "s" when verbose_name is defined and verbose_name_plural is not.
However, I think that supporting auto-suffixing for irregular plurals, such as categories, would be good idea.

Since there exists countless irregular English plurals, rather than including whole dictionary of all English plurals, I thought at first, adding support for common rules of forming plurals would be decent idea. For instance:

• adding 'es' support,
• adding support for nouns ending with 'y'
• etc.

I'm not sure about the link above is appropriate reference, but I couldn't find much better one.

How would that work? By including a dictionary of irregular plurals?

I have thought a different idea. Not sure about which one is better.
I edited decription of the ticket.

I'm not in favor of making a change here, particularly as it seems any solution will be English-centric. Feel free to raise the idea on the DevelopersMailingList, particularly if you have an implementation to share.
