Philip has implemented this now, but called the variable
$smtp_count_at_connection_start, which more accurately reflects what it is.

Is it definitely impossible to implement a way of getting the true count?
Otherwise this wish should perhaps remain, possibly for eternal times...

Yes, unless you build a lot of infrastructure (shared memory segment, or a pipe
with an ask/response protocol, or you continually write the value to a file,
or...) all of which are fairly major and will have performance impacts. The
value you want is in the daemon process and nowhere else. I personally do not
believe it is worth building a huge infrastructure just to get this particular
value out to other processes.
