Hm, actually the extra 'or' might be good there:
{.singular?}
one
{.or plural?}
many
{.or}
none
{.end}
The way I have it, you can't nest predicates:
{.test1?}
{.test2?} <-- this starts a new clause, not a new section
{.end}
{.end} <-- error because the last 'end' ends the whole chain
I'll have to think about it a bit.
