How do I pluralize or singularize multiple nouns?

I'm using the excellent nlp-compromise module for NLP.

I'm stuck at what should be a rather straightforward process: pluralizing or singularizing all nouns.

So far, I've got this:

let a = nlp("apples, oranges, pears")
a.nouns().toSingular()
a.out("text")

However, this returns

apple, oranges, pears

Whilst what I really want is

apple, orange, pear

this was a bug that just got fixed in v10.6.0.

(especially) with the commas, they are indeed three nouns, which all now inflect individually.

thanks for your help.

I've poured over the limited documentation without much success. However, I've stumbled upon a workaround of sorts:

a.match("#Noun").nouns().toSingular()

This appears to match all the nouns, instead of just the first one, returning

apple, orange, pear
