Thanks!

I really like removal of the 'count_only' parameter.  However, within the
routine 'count_only' made the code just a little easier to understand. I
might have:
- Removed the function parameter.
- Added local variable
  bool count_only = regions_needed != NULL;
- Left remaining code as it.

I'm OK with the proposed change.  Any change to readability is VERY minimal.
