Not sure I follow you properly here. Are you suggesting that adding toy should also add toy/s? So would adding coy also add coy/s? Obviously this is nonsense since coy/s is a non-word. :-) The problem is that different rules apply for different kinds of words. (e.g noun, verb, adjective etc.)
The rules of word formation are non-trivial. If you take a look at the en-GB ".aff" file you will get a flavour of this for English and we only picked the 50 or so most common rules to encode! Most ordinary users don't know or care about these rules.
I agree with the principle proposed, but it is far from trivial to implement. :-)
