Comment:

 My first patch! Yay :) At WordCamp Sheffield Contributor Day, by the
 way...

 This patch adds the following;

 * Checks if the post type name is longer than 5 characters
 * If so, use '#' as the column header instead
 * Otherwise, uses the post type name

 It still falls back to "Posts" if the post type object isn't available.

 I tried using "Count" but more often than not the T disappeared producing
 a similar result to the example given for this bug, so didn't seem an
 appropriate solution.

 Hash ('#') was chosen as something that is (probably) universally
 recognised as meaning "number"/"count". I'm not confident of that, hence
 why I've put it through the i18n function but thoughts welcome on that
 (hence why I haven't updated POT either).
