Comment (by swissspidy):

 > Another "nice to have" would be to allow the param to take a string
 value that would be interpreted as a post_status to show the count for,
 e.g., show counts for custom post_status = mycustompoststatus instead of
 publish.

 What about two arguments:

 * `at_a_glance`
 * `at_a_glance_count_cb` (like `update_count_callback` or
 `register_meta_box_cb`)

 This way one can provide a custom callback that returns a count. Otherwise
 it would fall back to `wp_count_posts`.
