Mengu, one made one small change to your code for backwards
compatibility (putting the value back into _extra).  Other than that,
I added a with_alias method to Expression so you can do:

rows =
db(db.stuff.id>0).select(db.stuff.value.count().with_alias('mycount'))
print rows.first().mycount

I will make patches for sql.py and dal.py that include your code
unless you have already started.
