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. :-)
