The PgSQL driver is returning TRUE for OLCFastFeatureCount and then running 
"SELECT Count(*)” to fulfill the request. Since that is actually going to apply 
a full table scan, it’s not *really* a fast feature count in my estimation, but 
perhaps GDAL has a different standard? What’s the standard for a fast feature 
count? Basically instant (the record count resides in header metadata or 
something similar)? Or “fast enough for small things”?
