PmWiki keeps track of the number of revisions on a page, but not
the number of posts.  I'm thinking that the way to do this is
to come up with a pattern that can count the number of posts on a
page, and then save that as a page attribute.  It can then be picked
up as a page variable.

Any thoughts as to what the pattern should be...?
