Comment:

 +1 for API consistency.

 The appeal here is bring the wp_count_posts() API into line with filtering
 that is already supported for the corresponding paged result set that
 those counts are supposed to summarize.  Without this, plugins/themes that
 use the WP_Query hooks to filter editing access (on any basis) must choose
 between an amateurish user experience (counts unfiltered / jQuery-
 filtered) or "hacky" code (counts filtered via the 'query' hook).

 I'm submitting an alternate patch against 3.2-bleeding which also applies
 the filter on the cached return value.  Without that, filtering is
 bypassed if persistent caching is implemented via object-cache.php.  With
 it, persistent caching eliminates the redundant query.

 I'm all for filtering the count query itself but left it out of this patch
 in case the results filter is an easier sell, and due to implications with
 persistent caching.  By the way, I don't see where the 'counts' cache is
 ever cleared on post save.
