What about a different function to return, say, the number of

Yes, that's a much more general and better idea.
Since there's probably not much need for this, I think that
simplicity would be good. That is, have the function work in a
fixed way with no options.

The idea of an (optional) parameter was to avoid recurrence of the problem at
the 4 terabyte barrier (since we can expect that, given time, disk sizes will
grow without limit).
