Comment (by Claude Paroz):
The exact rule about pluralizing floats/decimals depends on the language,
so whether we floor or ceil the number before passing it to `ngettext`
we'll do the right thing for some languages and wrong for others. This is
a known limitation of the `gettext` spec (in C, `ngettext` is only
accepting integers). We should make a choice and then document the
limitation.
It would not be impossible to try providing a language-specific hook in
the LANG_INFO structure and call that hook when converting floats to ints.
