/**
* `ngPlural` is an i18n directive that displays DOM sub-trees that match the switch expression
* value, or failing that, DOM sub-trees that match the switch expression's pluralization category.
*
* To use this directive, you must provide an extension of `NgLocalization` that maps values to
* category names. You then define a container element that sets the `[ngPlural]` attribute to a
* switch expression.
* - Inner elements defined with an `[ngPluralCase]` attribute will display based on their
* expression.
* - If `[ngPluralCase]` is set to a value starting with `=`, it will only display if the value
* matches the switch expression exactly.
* - Otherwise, the view will be treated as a "category match", and will only display if exact
* value matches aren't found and the value maps to its category using the `getPluralCategory`
* function provided.
*
* If no matching views are found for a switch expression, inner elements marked
* `[ngPluralCase]="other"` will be displayed.
*
* ```typescript
* class MyLocalization extends NgLocalization {
* getPluralCategory(value: any) {
* if(value < 5) {
* return 'few';
* }
* }
* }
*
* @Component({
* selector: 'app',
* providers: [provide(NgLocalization, {useClass: MyLocalization})]
* })
* @View({
* template: `
*
Value = {{value}}
*
*
*
* there is nothing
* there is one
* there are a few
* there is some number
