Haven't looked at streams- although I thought they required Camlp4? Plus,
does this mean we have to do a List.of_stream and PSQueue.of_stream etc?

Yeah. That catchs the case where bad programming forgot to handle the
unknown length case.

type count_t = Known of int | Unknown
We're introducing a pointer dereference- but I don't think count is
generally that big of a performance limit.
