      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!".
