TypeDefinition :: attributeNameCount - Get number of attribute names

In contrast to the number of attributes (attributeCount()), this function returns the number of attributes for a complex data type and all its subtypes. The function iterates through base types as well as through embedded complex attributes. Since memo and blob properties are conceptual attributes (but technically stored as references), those are counted as well.

Notes:

The count also includes MEMO and BLOB references.

Return value:  Number of items ( int32  )

The value contains the number of items to be processed or stored in a collection.
