Comment (by darkdragon):

 There are some issues with the patch

 {{{
 function count_filter($filter) {
     global $wp_filter;

     $i = 0;

     if( isset($wp_filter[$filter]) } {
         foreach($wp_filter[$filter] as $priority) $i += count($priority);
     }

     return $i;
 }

 function count_action($action) {
     return count_filter($action);
 }
 }}}

  * The global $wp_actions stores how many times an action was called.

 And that is all. Really, for optimization, if it is not set, then it is
 better to return 0, like your patch. Not have an else condition. Then have
 the loop afterwards.

 It would also be better to have some sort of caching once the number has
 been found.

 You misunderstand. It would be useful to have this function, but just not
 for your second point. A guy (one guy) thought it would be useful.
 However, I'm not quite sure it would be useful for everyone else.

 One practical application would be for debugging, "Did my hook actually
 add itself?"
