count of records in group

[avostryakov]

I using "group_by" sphinx functionality and want to have access to @count virtual sphinx attribute in django templates but I can't because django don't like "@" symbol in the beginning of the variable name. I mean I can't write in templates like this:

{% for item in results %}
Count of items in group: {{ item.sphinx.@count }}
{% endfor %}

I suggest to add a small patch to SphinxProxy class in models.py:

def count(self):
return self._sphinx['attrs'].get('@count')

I'm not sure that this is appropriate patch. What do you think?
