Tagcloud: Number of posts per tag

[uli-heller]

I'm doing a tagcloud on my blog. For this, I need the number of posts per tag.
I didn't find a documented way to get this number, so I'm using

db.getPublishedPostsByTag(tag).size()

within one of my gsp templates for now. The tags show up like this:

Does it make sense to create a public object and method for this? Similar to "alltags"? Or an extension to it?
