Well, _some_ placeholder for a suffix. '32' might be explicit, but awkward.

My idea with using 'count' was that we currently have three functions
doing the same (size, count, length), and giving one more of them
a real meaning would be ok. But as I said before, you have a point
that the situation is there as well for indexOf() etc.

A suffix on all interesting function would allow more uniformity than
just having the one special case for getting the size.
