--count

[Ovid]

I'm about to commit a change that allows one to pass a negatable 'count' option to prove (it defaults to true).  This allows me to do stuff like this:

  prove --nocount t/aggregate.t

And my aggregate test runner handles the counting itself.  This is similar to how counting is disabled when output is not going to the terminal.  I notice as a side effect that the --nocount shaves 3 or 4 wallclock seconds on the Test::Harness test suite :)

This adds a feature to prove, but does not alter current behavior.

So my real question is, should I leave the versioning alone and let and just let Andy handle that?  We're at 3.14 and I'm sooooooo tempted to check this in as 3.141 :)

Cheers,
Ovid
