Comment:

 @roperjonathan Thanks for the ticket, and welcome to WordPress Trac!

 Can you give an example of the syntax you'd like to use in your plugin or
 theme? I'm not sure I understand the use case.

 > At the moment if I want to do this, I have to return all of the terms
 from a taxonomy and then go through each one and count how many posts are
 associated with each term for both published posts and draft posts which
 is a lot more inefficient.

 It may be that WP would have to do the same thing internally, which would
 be just as inefficient :)
