google app engine - What's the best way to count results in GQL?

Question

I figure one way to do a count is like this:

foo = db.GqlQuery("SELECT * FROM bar WHERE baz = 'baz')
my_count = foo.count()

What I don't like is my count will be limited to 1000 max and my query will probably be slow. Anyone out there with a workaround? I have one in mind, but it doesn't feel clean. If only GQL had a real COUNT Function...
