Expose Tag Count Tooltip Option to Customize Style User Interface, Make New CSS Class for Tag Count

Area:

Summary:
Based on a thread in the Style System community (http://style-system.dreamwidth.org/102224.html?thread=826448#cmt826448) I'm positing that we expose the sidebar tag count tooltip option to the Customize Style User Interface (basically, to put an option to use it on this page: http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options?group=modules) and to make the option a checkbox choice with the label "display tag count only as a tooltip". To be clear, this was originally user ninetydegree's idea, but I was given her permission to post it here if she didn't submit it first herself. :)

Description:
Right now as a DW user you may, for aesthetic or other reasons, not want to expose the tag count to users in your sidebar (a 'tag count' being how a sidebar tag might say, for example, "0 uses" or "20 uses" right after it). Rather than hide it via clumsy CSS ('clumsy' being, um, the only CSS guidance I could offer in that thread, given that there is no specific CSS class for the tag count) the idea is to expose the "display tag count only as a tooltip" in the Customize Style/Modules user interface to give users that option. Right now they can only access it by creating a custom theme layer and coding it in via DW's s2 programming language.

I'd also like to suggest that we have a separate CSS class for sidebar tag counts so we can style them however we want (this is the part of the suggestion I think DW designers will benefit from the most - but exposing the tooltip option also sounds like awesome sauce to me).
