This change gives me pause: wouldn’t it be a problem in
non-English locales, where $sing_fmt changes before it is
used to set $plur_fmt?

Of course there is no problem because the code is equivalent to

		$sing_fmt = $d->get($sing_fmt);
		$plur_fmt = $d->get($plur_fmt);

(or at least Locale::gettext is advertised to work that way.)
