[elephant-devel] Best way of getting a collection size

[Ian Eslick]

That part of it is actually easy, your mixin just need to provide  
before: or after: operators on (setf get-value) and remove-kv (I  
think).  The challenge is not double counting replacement operations  
which may require an additional read, so good to keep this a mixin  
and only pay the cost when you need to.

If any ideas for a more efficient solution comes up, please share them!
