Subject: [boost] [concept] why is `requires` plural?

Hello all,
This might be a very silly curiosity: Does anyone know why `requires`
(plural) is used to specify concept requirements?
Most keywords (all?) are not plural so I would have expexted `require`
to be used instead of `requires`. Howerver, the C++0x proposals and
ConceptC++ use `requires`. Consequently, Boost.ConceptCheck uses
BOOST_CONCEPT_REQUIRES(). Do you know why the plural form was
selected?
Thank you.
