Chris Leighton:
My understanding is that we use "number" for discrete variables and "amount" for continuous variables. So you can say "The amount of flour required depends on..." or, "Last night I consumed a large amount of beer!". And, "That tank contains a large number of fish" or, "Over the week I consumed a number of cases of beer." I think that features are discrete, so the man page would read "...the number of features will make your head spin!".
