{{ objects|length }} works fine.
If you wanted it in an 'if' tag (ie. if length = some value), then you
can't do the above, but you can't do it now either. What you can do
now is this:
{% if objects %}
[ ... print out objects... ]
{% else %}
Sorry, no objects today.
{% endif %}
With my proposal in the other e-mail, this would work exactly as before
- bool(objects) would fetch the data, and so you would do just the one
query as before.
