Does not the translator effect the whole string?  I was thinking that the
translator would (not) use the trailing-s version depending on if it was
appropriate for the translation.

I could certainly add more detail in comments; I've started to do that with
strings I've added recently.

FWIW, the FreqSpec code is dead, and will be removed at some point.  At the
same time, there's basically-equivalent code in Recurrence, now.
