...granted that this isn't a "finished solution", I don't
see how it can be used to pose the original problem I posed [1] --
namely to be able to count sections that are controlled by
(:if:) conditions.  In particular, how can someone use 
{(counter)} with something like

    [[#mytemplate]]
    (:if auth edit {=$FullName}:)
    * {=$FullName}
    [[#mytemplateend]]

such that only the first ten pages for which the visitor
has edit permission are displayed.

(I think that Hans is correct that this implementation is
effectively the same as the existing {$$PageCount} variable.)
