currently, we can paginate our queries with &page=# or &before_id=# but I'm not seeing any way to know how many results we can page through before we run out.

is there any way to count the total number of posts with the tag specification we chose? in this way we could make our own page display for users of an api app even if we're using before id. something like [1]...[23][24][25]...[1024] (before_id could allow more than 750 pages I think)

if this doesn't exist, is it possible to get a total_result_count property or something?
