pluralLogic<T> method
Null safety
Internal: Implements the logic for plural selection - use plural for normal messages.

// We interpret the presence of [precision] parameter as an "opt-in" to

// would not map to 'one' (for example "1.00 miles")

// If there's an explicit case for the exact number, we use it. This is
// not strictly in accord with the CLDR rules, but it seems to be the
// expectation. At least I see e.g. Russian translations that have a zero
// case defined. The rule for that locale will never produce a zero, and
// treats it as other. But it seems reasonable that, even if the language
// rules treat zero as other, we might want a special message for zero.
