 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="37987"
 I18N: Introduce an on/off switch for locales where comment number needs to
 be declined.

 When enabled, the switch would override the theme's pseudo-plural `'%
 Comments'` string with a correct form of `_n( '%s Comment', '%s Comments',
 $number )`.

 Historically, `comments_popup_link()` and `get_comments_number_text()` did
 not support plural forms and used a pseudo-plural style instead, so some
 locales were forced to come up with workarounds to display the number of
 comments in their language correctly.

 This change should make those functions more i18n-friendly.

 Fixes #13651.
