I find myself passing in the number of total clones as a parameter.
Yes, that's the only way.

I would like to avoid this if possible.
Why? Is it only for cosmetic reasons, or for technical reasons?

Yes, [clone foo 20 20] might look ugly, but it does the job. Personally, I haven't ever needed the number of cloned instances inside an instance... but if you need it frequently, you can make a feature request on GitHub.

Is there a way for a clone instance to determine the total number of clones?

Because often the behavior of a clone depends on its relative position
within a chain of instances.

"I am instance 12 of 100, therefore, I should behave like so...."
