[PD-dev] object count for dynamic patching

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So I am working on some dynamic patches and I thought it would be quite  
handy to have an object or message to the pd object that would tell me  
how many objects the current patch has.  Anything like this exist?  It  
shouldn't be too hard to write, right?
