Author: catlow

Description:
Can there be an option, when retrieving a list, to retrieve just the total number of items in the list, instead of having to retrieve the list itself (particularly wasteful when the list is many times longer than the number of items you can get in a single query)?

Version: unspecified
Severity: enhancement

Note that even if this was implemented, the count would still be affected by the limit; if the count is higher, you wouldn't be able to get it in a single query.
