After some more digging I found the thread that (I think) the "mere
pedantry" comment was referring to:
There's other nearby discussion at
(note that that's referring to the klugy state of affairs before 108fe4730)
Of course, that's just a couple of offhand email threads, which should
not be mistaken for graven stone tablets. But I still don't see much
advantage in deviating from the SQL-standard syntax for COUNT(*).
