The manual page for the 'count' function says that arrays with null elements will be ignored. This is not true. If you try the example it returns 6 as opposed to 4 as stated. I have tested this on various systems and found the same result. 

Thank You,

Indeed, it always returns number of elements (it's coded
this way). Anybody knows why it's the other way in the manual?
