That's probably still more intuitive than having the count coming from
either main() or from get_parallel_object_list() depending on the
process type, so I'm fine with that alternative. Maybe we could bite
the bullet and add a count meber to Simple*List, also providing a
macro to initialize a new list so that next time a field is added
there won't be a massive boilerplate code change?
