Re: [icu-design] ICU API proposal: deprecate COUNT/LIMIT constants whose values may change

[Steven R. L. <sr...@ic...>]

These are useful for iterating where there's no explicit min/max api such as on calendars. 

The header/lib mismatch is easily tested for using uversion API vs U_ICU_VERSION

Perhaps the static count could be replaced by a convention of getter functions , something like:
 uint32_t   u_UCurrUsage_count() ;

( u_ + type + count )
