Uh, scratch that [ not enough caffeine yet ]. What this coding embeds
is the assumption that the filecount is the only variable we might wish
to replace with a constant string, which is safe enough since that's the
only one that we know a fixed value for in any one ngettext string.
Still, I agree with Greg's opinion that this is just not a real good
thing to be doing.
