--------------------+-------------------------------------------------------
The automatic handling of {{{<plurals>}}} container elements with
{{{<plural>}}} children is a bit random and incomplete at the moment.
We should change it to behave like this (discussed on IRC):
* {{{getChild()}}} does no magic, returns exactly one child element of
the given name if only exactly one child element of the given name exists
* {{{hasChild()}}} bool of the above
* {{{getChildren()}}} gets a third argument, defaulting to {{{false}}},
to switch on the singular/plural handling
* {{{countChildren()}}} and {{{hasChildren()}}} work the same way
* new {{{get()}}} and {{{has()}}} methods are shortcuts for calling
{{{getChildren()}}} and {{{hasChildren()}}} with the third arg to true
Mind you we cannot use {{{__get()}}}/{{{__isset()}}} overloads for the
plural magic as originally planned as the parent {{{DOMElement}}} and
{{{DOMNode}}} classes define a couple of public properties already.
