/**
 * Formats a string containing a count of items.

 * @code
 *   $output = format_plural($node->comment_count, '1 comment', '@count comments');
 * @endcode
 *
 * Example with additional replacements:
 * @code
 *   $output = format_plural($update_count,

 *     'Changed the content type of @count posts from %old-type to %new-type.',
 *     array('%old-type' => $info->old_type, '%new-type' => $info->new_type));
 * @endcode
 *
 * @param $count
 *   The item count to display.
 * @param $singular
 *   The string for the singular case. Make sure it is clear this is singular,
 *   to ease translation (e.g. use "1 new comment" instead of "1 new"). Do not
 *   use @count in the singular string.
 * @param $plural
 *   The string for the plural case. Make sure it is clear this is plural, to
 *   ease translation. Use @count in place of the item count, as in
 *   "@count new comments".
 * @param $args
 *   An associative array of replacements to make after translation. Instances
 *   of any key in this array are replaced with the corresponding value.
 *   Based on the first character of the key, the value is escaped and/or
 *   themed. See format_string(). Note that you do not need to include @count
 *   in this array; this replacement is done automatically for the plural case.
 * @param $options
 *   An associative array of additional options. See t() for allowed keys.
 *
 * @return
 *   A translated string.

 * @see t()
 * @see format_string()
