It seems clear that F() is not actually the optimal marker for

Right, after fighting with gettext for a bit, I changed my mind.
Current policy (the best one I could come up with):
F() marks strings that should be translated
For strings that should be translated and involve plurals, use:
FP("%i doorbell", "%i doorbells", count) % count
This does not work for some languages. For example in czech we have
1 "zvonek"
2, 3 and 4 "zvonky"
5 and more "zvonků"
Zbynek
