The count of type contexts is an important "self check" in the JLS -- 
the precision of the count forces me to regularly re-check the accuracy 
of the count, which in turn helps to ensure that ALL type contexts are 
handled in far flung sections of the JLS. However, I agree it's fair to 
elide the count in the API spec.
