The pluralize filter is a very simple 80% solution. This patch makes it more of an 85% solution, which I'm comfortable with. It just needs docs -- then it can be committed.

This patch allows for plural/singular alternatives too, so you can have your knife/knives.

I dunno. The pluralize filter is a bad hack - it can't handle cases where the plural isn't formed by tacking something onto the end of the singular, e.g. man/men or knife/knives. There's a fair few of these cases in English, and it's the default in many languages.
AFAIK you can't pass more than one extra argument to a filter, so I don't think pluralize is fixable. If you care at all about grammatical correctness, you probably shouldn't be using it.
