It just looks like feature bloat, that's all.  I don't recall ever 
seeing a need for this functionality (until this thread).

What I *do* see a need for, however, is something that automatically 
pluralizes properly, so that the system can output "finished 1 copy" 
instead of "finished 1 copys", "finished 1 copies", or the cop-out, 
"finished 1 copy(ies)".  If Lisp has that functionality built in, that 
would impress me, even if it's English-only.
