Sorry for the delayed response; I missed seeing your reply until now. I wasn't asking about plurals. I was commenting that having them as a string resource but not integrated with the format system is a FAIL, when you consider the actual translation workflow and lifecycle, because using them requires a coding change.
But, on those occasions where you are dealing with one language, or carefully work out IN ADVANCE how to make it all work out with multiple languages (i.e. supply plurals for every possible argument that might need them, as an additional argument, and sorting it all out with positionals in the format string) -- on those occasions, it's nice to have. Of course, you could have done the same thing with a string array, but it captures the intent more nicely. But it does require the programmer to know a lot about translation, and to get it all set up right in advance.
