You are correct.

I must say I had that problem when I renamed them. My problem is that
I'm a prefix person (i.e., I much prefer rules_sth than sth_rule.
Then I prefered `number' since that closer to the names used in
internal.
Nevertheless, I'm fine with changing these. But I'd prefer having
other opinions: should I use `states_count' etc?
