Plural handling seems to be quite irregular - it isn't obvious where such a change could be made.

A couple of points:

• Ref-by is simply a call to search, so a different pattern can be given. If regular expressions are powerful enough then a small change would be needed
• Rename has a more complete implementation of ref-by type functionality (which leads to less false matchse), but I don't think it process more general plurals.

If rename has a more complete implementation it sounds like it also has a different implementation of the same piece of functionality. Perhaps we need a "CodeRefactorToDo" item that to mark topics that could help direct people wanting to improve on the code base.
