 Description   

Running "db.asdfqwerty.count();" returns 0 if table "asdfqwerty" does not exist. This scared the crap out of me. I had a typo in my table name and thought I deleted the whole table. It would be much better if this returned an error.

Given that there is no create generally, people generally want this behavior (returning 0).
Don't think this is something we can change.
