Canonicalized character class pluralization #4

Open mrdomino opened 8 years ago

mrdomino commented 8 years ago

Some character classes are singular (digit), some are plural (symbols).

Possibilities:

make them all plural, and keep singular aliases for the ones that are singular
vice versa
recognize plural and singular forms for all classes.

I don't care which of these is done, but I'd be grateful if one of them was -- it's hard for me to remember which ones are singular and which are plural currently.

Oops! Sorry. I can have a patch out soon.

fwiw, I think singular sounds nicer! Especially given that pluralizing alphanumeric and printable would be awkward.

I was going to add aliases for singular and plural both, for what it's worth.
