adding a special case for zero (or any other specific number) can always 
be done at the application level. this inherently can't break anything.  
it's just extra work, but overall much less work than if you impose that 
extra case on all other instances that don't need it, or make the system 
much more complex by supporting each edge case explicitly through some 
overloads/configuration flags.

generally, the plural support found in the various i18n systems concerns 
cardinal numerals, that is, strings that actually include the number of 
items. cf. https://qt-project.atlassian.net/browse/QTBUG-5928
