Comment:

 I'd like to get this into 6.9 if possible to begin collecting data.

 I've opened a PR as a first pass that attempts to count the number of Core
 default tables that use the `MyISAM` engine. If no tables are found,
 nothing is reported, so w.org can assume the absence of `myisam_count`
 indicates that there are `0` tables using `MyISAM`.

 I did consider a few other ways to approach this:
 - Including a list of table names. It could help to see trends with
 certain tables, but I don't know that level of fidelity is necessary.
 - Sending over a `0` value when no tables are found. I opted to not send
 the variable over to save a few bytes.
