declaration of control variable of plurals

[mark-lester]

I'd like to save the name of the control variable for plural forms.
I will amend _parseComments and _drawComments to accept and output
#$ varname
bound to comments.control
This is trivial of course, its a case of whether we want it, and if so what $ and control should be

Can you please provide an example containing a control variable that you like to extract?

[smhg]

Do you know of any other gettext tools which support #$?
