Good catch, agreed that current result should be fixed.

IIUC, there is another approach, allowing to specify multiple COUNT clause
in the SET/GET DESCRIPTOR. E.g.,
```
EXEC SQL GET DESCRIPTOR d :desc_count1 = count, :desc_count2 = count;
-> set COUNT value to desc_count1 and desc_count2.
```
Do you have theory which one is better?
