Summary: an object that outputs obj. count in current (sub)patch

Initial Comment:
would be nice to have an object that when bang-ed
outputs the actual number of object in the current
subpatch (or a named patch).

this is particular useful when creating patches
dynamically, i.e. adding objects to an abstraction itself:

one has to count the number of object, and hardcode it
in the patch, before saving it.

on each midification of the patch, this number must be
updated, in order to make dynamic connections work (via
a |connect( message sent to the patch)
