If the custom 'get_name' callback is not set then the value of 'count' is ignored and the static value 'simplelist_line_count' is used instead. Hence, if you set a custom name callback you'll also set the number of items. But if you don't use a custom callback (most of the time I think) you shouldn't be forced to provide the count parameter.

After a call to 'simplelist_info_init' we should be able to just call 'simplelist_addline' without any intermediate actions. As of now, you must call 'simplelist_set_line_count' in between.
