Good point - but I believe the code operating on the counter is
synchronized
already, so synchronized getter would not really slow things
down.
I agree that this is much needed feature.
In python for example, the threaded Queue class has qsize()
method that returns the APPROX size of the queue. Without it my
life would be much harder-I use it frequently.
