count(Table) inside {...} — how many items a table has.
Mostly useful for rolling an index that stays valid as a table
grows: {1d{count(npcs)}} instead of hard-coding 1d3 and
forgetting to update it when you add a row. The argument is a table name rather than a value, so dotted column names
(count(npcs.Job)), quoted names with spaces, and interpolated
names (count({$whichTable})) all work. It counts items, so a
lookup table with two range rows counts 2, not the span of its dice
formula; counting a table that doesn't exist is an error, the same
as rolling one.

How to pull several columns from the same rolled row. Each
column of a markdown table is its own rollable table, so [@npcs.Job] and [@npcs.Name] land on different people — which
looks like a bug the first time you write a sentence with two of
them in it. The fix is to roll the row number once and pick by
index: The [#{row=1d{count(npcs)}} npcs.Job] was [#{$row} npcs.Secret]. Written up in the reference (Rolling on note
content → One row, several columns) and in guide note 02, along
with the reason it can't be split across two `rdm:` spans:
every inline span is evaluated on its own, so variables don't carry
from one to the next.
The [#table] current-index form — pick the item at the position
of the item currently being rendered, for cross-indexing parallel
tables — is now in the call-variations table, and the function list
(if, max, min, round, substr, …) is documented at all.
