===========================

fcount counts the number of files within a directory, and outputs the total to
stdout.

It basically does the same thing as `ls -lA|wc -l`, but ten times faster.

    ───── time fcount ~
    59

    real    0m0.001s
    user    0m0.000s
    sys     0m0.000s

    ───── time ls -Al ~|wc -l
    60

    real    0m00m0.010s
    user    0m00m0.010s
    sys     0m00m0.003s

Moreover, it gives the GOOD total (`ls -Al` gives you an extra line).
This could be useful within a status bar ..

    echo "mails: `fcount ~/mail/INBOX/new`" | bar

Be creative!
