Why not a subscription type of count, to go along with items and nodes?
Effectively there's also a hidden one of subscriptions, too, in a sense.

Hi,
We have a need to efficiently monitor the count of items in a pubsub
node.
After some brief discussion with Nathan Fritz, we decided that a simple
and
clean solution is to have pubsub events include an optional count value.
This
could be done with a SHIM header:
<header name="TotalItems">427</header>
Of course, this means that even if you only care about the count, you
still
end up receiving item payloads. But this seemed preferable to the
alternative
of offering dedicated "count" nodes for every normal node.
If there are no objections, how would I go about trying to formalize such
a
simple thing?
