True.
The convenience of having one less display_progress() call is only a
slight advantage.
True, too.
"2/3 (33%)" means something else to me than to you by default.  So a
solution could be to state the model explicitly.  I.e. "2/3 (66%) done"
or "working on 2/3 (66%)", but the percentage doesn't quite fit in the
latter case.  Thoughts?

I still see "2/3 done" is how we should look at it, but either way,
that's a good way to view at the problem.

Thanks.

...  Recently I learned that in Arabic a person's age is given
using the count-iterations model.  I.e. on the day of your birth
your age is one.
East Asign age reckoning is shared among EA countries and works the
same way, not just Arabic.
