instead?''
Isn't that more extreme? Why not just the simple hooks proposed? The
hooks add no perceptible overhead. Why force someone to recreate the
entire `wp_count_posts()` function?
Replying to [comment:2 scribu]:
> ''Actually, it's already possible to overwrite that method by extending
the WP_Posts_List_Table class, but alas those classes aren't public as of
WP 3.1.''
Extending a class is not [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Composability
composable] with other plugins; only one plugin can extend
`WP_Posts_List_Table` so extending classes really should be left to use
within core and not by plugins.
