Comment (by scribu):

 I remembered that to insert an item into the admin bar, you have to rely
 on hook priority, which is a pretty round-about way of doing it, IMO.

 How about something more like jQuery:

 {{{
 $right_now->append( array(
   'id' => 'user-count',
   'label' => _n_noop( 'User', 'Users' ),
   'count' => 1000
   'url' => ...
 ) );
 }}}

 We can generate both the number and text classes from the 'id' key.

 This would just add the element at the end of the list.

 We'd also have:

 {{{
 $right_now->prepend( array(
   ...
 ) );

 $right_now->insert_before( 'some-other-id', array(
   ...
 ) );

 $right_now->insert_after( 'some-other-id', array(
   ...
 ) );

 $right_now->replace( 'some-other-id', array(
   ...
 ) );

 $item = $right_now->get( 'some-other-id' );

 $right_now->remove( 'some-other-id' );
 }}}

 This could also be used for the regular admin box.
