Description:
------------
I would like a new count() mode flag, COUNT_RECURSIVE_VALUES, which 
counts the values and not the keys.

Reproduce code:
---------------
$b = array(0 => array(2,3), 1 => array(6,7));

// i see 2
print count($b);

// i see 6
print count($b, COUNT_RECURSIVE);

// i want to see "4"
print count($b, COUNT_RECURSIVE_VALUES);

Expected result:
----------------
2
6
4

Actual result:
--------------
2
6
// error

Looks like this could be implemented in userland without too much
trouble, and I cannot immediately see a benefit of having this
functionality in PHP core.  That doesn't mean that this couldn't
be a useful feature, but it appears that it should be discussed,
and this bug tracker is rather unsuitable for such discussions.
So I encourage anybody interested in this to bring it up on the
internals mailing list[1].  For the time being, I'm suspending
this ticket.
