v:count in mapping gets E492: Not an editor command: count

:h v:count includes the following example map _x :echo "the count is " . v:count which works as expected, but using map :let @n=v:count1 ... produces E492 etc; and instead I must use map ;; :exe 'let @n=v:count1' ... for it to work. Now I have a number of mappings in alternate .vimrc files
