Oh yes please. Much more flexible than counting among the parent’s
children, and counters are already there.
The downside is that (I think) counters get their value after box
generation, so this would make the computed value of calc() more
complicated. (Computed values are determined before box generation.)

Syntax nitpick: I’d rather reuse the existing counter() function and
allow it in calc(). This is much easier to parse that trying to group
whitespace-separated keywords.
The difference is that in numeric context (like calc()) it would
"return" an <integer>, while in string context (every usage so far) it
returns a <string> based on a counter type.
