I posted an idea about pluralisation could be handled in a way that

horrible?
I saw one response, noting that you can define in a module your own
quote characters with their own interpolation rules; no core changes
needed.
Why then did Larry ask the original question? Why also did others with
far better knowledge than I indicate that hooks should be present in
interpolation to make language-dependent modules possible, thus
indicating the hooks might not be there?
How - in sketch form - would I go about creating a module to do what I
suggest? I am not suggesting someone writes a module I have suggested,
but the barebones steps to creating a new metacharacter.
I have written infix multidispatch functions in pugs with Unicode
characters to investigate that part of the language. But I dont quite
see how to go about creating a new interpolatable metacharacter.
