why not "files", "lines", "bytes"... the plural form already tells you
it's a counter.
Opinions, we all have 'em :)
We do, and in this case I strongly disagree with yours :)
To me a plural indicates a collection of items, not a number of items.
It may seem a small detail, but when I see "files" in a codebase to
indicate a count, instead of "file_count" or "nr_files" or "num_files",
it always takes me a moment of reflection to graps the meaning. Every
time again.
If you use plural to indicate counts, what do you use for collections of
items?
