Adding a 'plural?' method to the Indirection::Request class.

I'm in the process of creating a new service for handling
all of the http calls, including generation of the RESTian
URL.  This service obviously needs to know whether the url should
be plural or singular, and the request knows the method in use,
so it can easily answer the question.
