For `verbose_name_plural` option in django Model Meta, django currently
appends "s" when `verbose_name` is defined and `verbose_name_plural` is
not.
However, I think that supporting auto-suffixing for irregular plurals,
such as `categories`, would be good idea.

Comment (by Tim Graham):
How would that work? By including a dictionary of irregular plurals?

New description:
For `verbose_name_plural` option in django Model Meta, django currently
appends "s" when `verbose_name` is defined and `verbose_name_plural` is
not.
However, I think that supporting auto-suffixing for irregular plurals,
such as `categories`, would be good idea.
Since there exists countless irregular English plurals, rather than
including whole dictionary of all English plurals, I thought at first,
adding support for common rules of forming plurals would be decent idea.
For instance:
- adding 'es' support,
- adding support for nouns ending with 'y'
- etc.

I'm not sure about the link above is appropriate reference, but I couldn't
find much better one.

Comment:
I'm not in favor of making a change here, particularly as it seems any
solution will be English-centric. Feel free to raise the idea on the
DevelopersMailingList, particularly if you have an implementation to
share.
