it shows that a c arithmetic expression parser is needed to handle plurals
(and the expression has to be evaluated every time dcngettext is invoked)
Plural-Forms: nplurals=2; plural=n == 1 ? 0 : 1;
The nplurals value must be a decimal number which specifies how many
different plural forms exist for this language. The string following
plural is an expression which is using the C language syntax.
Exceptions are that no negative numbers are allowed, numbers must be
decimal, and the only variable allowed is n.
