Entirely aside from the mechanics of producing the output,
I am not sure I buy that emitting that is a desirable goal.
It seems to be based on an English-centric notion that singular
and indefinitely-many plural are the only two categories.
This is incorrect (see the documentation for ngettext()).

Is there a good reason not to output a separate message for
each publication?  If we need to throw an ereport(ERROR)
covering them all, maybe list them in separate sentences
in a DETAIL message.
