Thanks. We try to do this way in the beginning , but in the end gives up
because currently too many direct operation to count_info without any macro
wrapper, and I'm not confident to take over ALL of them.
Shall our patch wait for your changes and do rebase, or shall I still working

important if we have this changes)?
