794	A template filter that lets the user choose pluralization method	ozamosi@…	Adrian Holovaty	"The current pluralization in the default filter adds an s if it should pluralize. While this is often good for english, it is not always, and it is generally not usefull for any other language. Therefore, I wrote a custom pluralization filter that lets the template author specify what the filter should return if it should return anything at all.

Here is the diff:
