Comment (by Otto42):

 Doesn't the plural form system used in gettext already handle this?

 https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/manual/html_node/Plural-forms.html

 Plural forms can be defined in extremely complex ways without changing the
 way that things like _n are defined. Doesn't seem like we need additional
 logic in PHP to handle those cases.
