I think that the simplest way of doing this is closer to #2. Test to see if
the last character in the string is an s. If it is return ' otherwise return
's. Then just use is like this
    "You whack %s%s head!", GET_NAME(vict), PLURAL(GET_NAME(vict))
Similar usage within act for the replacement of $x/$X and Bob's your mothers
brother!
