As I understand $PageCount it is a "pseudo variable" available only during
actual processing of a pagelist.  If you want to access it afterwards to
print a list of available pages you will find it is blank...  And, in any
event, it is not even defined until after the count=x..y has been processed,
so it would suffer from the same limitation as $MatchCount...
