findLang takes a "langcode" parameter if if supplied and valid.
Otherwise it tries to create it from the user's set language ({{int:lang}})
Failing that, it uses the wiki's content language.
It returns a language object.

It returns the plural of that unit in the given language, if it can.
it is exported for use in other modules.

p.plural takes a quantity (number and unit name) and an optional language code
It returns the quantity with proper plural units in the given language, if it can.
it is exported for use in other modules.

p.main takes a number and unit name (quantity=) and an optional language code (lang=) from the frame
It returns the quantity with proper plural units in the given language, if it can.
Example use: {{#invoke:Sandbox/RexxS/Plural|main|quantity=3 week}} returns "3 weeks"
