[FLR-list] Plurals

[iago.mosqueira-sanchez at jrc.ec.europa.eu]

The mechanism to make getPlural extendible could be for it to become a 
method, dispatched on an objedct of the singular class, that returns the 
name if the FLlst class

setMethod("getPlural", signature(object="FLSAM"),
   function(object)
     return("FLSAMs"))

The only issue with this is that we are creating another copy of a 
(maybe) large object, for a very simple operation. But that's life in 
the OOP world
