Scene item/object counts should not be shown - they mean a potentially very expensive computation, which is far too heavy to be triggered by such a casual (and easy to make by accident) action. |

Houdini displays that sort of information on middle mouse click (which forces a cook of the node and any upstream). Guess we can't use the same, since mmb is for dragging? |

Fixes GafferHQ#157. That issue does discuss showing object counts and other things, of which I'm quite skeptical - I think it'll be too expensive. No doubt there is additional information which could go be displayed though, so the tooltip will also show a "summary" Metadata item if it has been registered - this will allow individual node types to add useful information by registering a dynamic Metadata item.
