Handle conversion of plural topic names to singular form.

<div>
  <ul>
    <li><a href="#Package =TWiki::Plurals="> Package TWiki::Plurals</a><ul>
        <li><a href="#StaticMethod <strong>singularForm</strong> ($we"> StaticMethod singularForm <tt>($web,$pluralForm) -&gt; $singularForm</tt></a></li>

    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

## <a name="StaticMethod &lt;strong&gt;singularForm&lt;/strong&gt; ($we"></a> [[StaticMethod]] **singularForm** `($web,$pluralForm) -> $singularForm`

Try to singularise plural topic name.

- `$web` - the web the topic must be in
- `$pluralForm` - topic name

Returns undef if no singular form exists, otherwise returns the singular form of the topic

[[I18N]] - Only apply plural processing if site language is English, or if a built-in English-language web (Main, TWiki or Plugins). Plurals apply to names ending in 's', where topic doesn't exist with plural name.

SMELL: this is highly langauge specific, and shoud be overridable on a per-installation basis.
