For my particular situation, maybe. As a general solution, a proper
plural_to_singular function would be the right solution, and would save
everyone's time, not just mine.
Maybe Rose::DB::Object::Loader could have an interactive mode where it
asks you what's the singular/plural of each table name. This could be
implemented in the ConventionManager or at the RDBO::Loader level.
