That may be, but a user of Page Templates may well not know Python, and 
may well not read the code of the constructor.

I'm suggesting a name that is meaningful to someone thinking about 
displaying batches of information. We have the length of the current 
batch, and the total length.

For such a person, there is currently no use of the word "sequence". I 
don't see why we should introduce one now.

I'm quite happy with "length" :)

I can type "total" about twice as fast as I can type "sequence".
