There is no such thing as "number of cards in <bkgnd>" yet.  The
"number of cards" function assumes you mean the number of cards in the
whole stack.  There is no way to determine how many cards there are in
a particular background without stepping through and counting them.

As it happens, I spent yesterday at Bill's house adding a few new
features, one of which was "number of cards in <bkgnd>".  Don't ask me
when this will ship or what else will be new because I can't talk about
either topic.
