count item sequence {&key from-end start end key test test-not} => n
count-if predicate sequence {&key from-end start end key} => n
count-if-not predicate sequence {&key from-end start end key} => n
item---an object.
sequence---a proper sequence.
predicate---a designator for a function of one argument that returns a generalized boolean.
from-end---a generalized boolean. The default is false.
test---a designator for a function of two arguments that returns a generalized boolean.
test-not---a designator for a function of two arguments that returns a generalized boolean.
start, end---bounding index designators of sequence. The defaults for start and end are 0 and nil, respectively.
key---a designator for a function of one argument, or nil.
n---a non-negative integer less than or equal to the length of sequence.
count, count-if, and count-if-not count and return the number of elements in the sequence bounded by start and end that satisfy the test.
The from-end has no direct effect on the result. However, if from-end is true, the elements of sequence will be supplied as arguments to the test, test-not, and key in reverse order, which may change the side-effects, if any, of those functions.

Should be prepared to signal an error of type type-error if sequence is not a proper sequence.
