There are caveats:

Adding a |n=... syntax will likely break all existing messages having literal
='s inside {{PLURAL: ...}}. Such cases are likely rare, though. Using
<nowiki>=</nowiki> should solve the issue but is a performance eater.

PLURAL rules are generally not binding to simple figures, but rather to
expressions for sets of numbers, such as (n mod 10 == 1) and the like.
If we cannot make sure that we never will need them, we should generally
provide a way to use expressions as well. While this is not hard
programmatically, the need to have "="s inside those expressions increases
general PLURAL syntax complexity. Having to surround expressions with brackets
to make a distinction seems fair.
