This does make me wonder a bit on whether we are going to soon need
a provider / consumer interface for the counter subsystem.

Afterall, this pulse is coming from something and I doubt it will
be long before we want to describe that 'something' plus it may
have additional controls etc.

Anyhow, that's a question for another day. A few minor things inline.

Whilst it's moderately obvious I think a short description here
would be useful.

The second example doesn't tell us anything new, so I'd drop
it and just have counter-0
