Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 My reading of {{{$q['no_found_rows']}}} is "don't do the
 {{{FOUND_ROWS()}}} query" - doesn't mean that found_rows is forbidden from
 being set, just don't use the query to do it. The query is also suppressed
 if there is no limit, which to me means "set found_rows from {{{count(
 $posts )}}} since we got all of the posts already"

 I made a new patch that IMO is simpler and addresses the original purpose
 of the ticket which is returning a number that isn't zero in an instance
 like this:

 {{{
 $q = new WP_Query( array( 'posts_per_page' => -1 ) );
 error_log( $q->found_posts );
 exit();
 }}}
