There is no need to count. You just keep typing TAB until you get
what you want. When it alternates between all functions and only
commands, you'll see the number of completions change in an obvious
way.
Another advantage is that this gives you both completion spaces in
every command that reads a function name, not only in
describe-function.
We should try this and see what it is like, then judge it.
