More information doesn't always equate into more understanding, especially when that information causes a distraction. For instance, you could argue that the type of the declared variables is also information we already have, but what purpose would it serve to tell it to the user? Can you give an example where the specific number of declarations involved would help you to correct the diagnostic? I can't come up with one, so it feels to me like having the count is more of a distraction; especially given that there's no configurable threshold for "now you have too many declarations". I'd feel differently if there was a config option, because then the count is truly useful to know.
