Just noticed another thing:

> +      <info>returns list of all defined domains</info>

This does not expose any way to trigger the underlying C code of passing
NULL as a means of just counting.  That might be useful, so maybe we need:

conn.numOfAllDomains

in python code, which wraps virConnectListAllDomains but passes NULL and
returns just an integer instead of a list.  After all, if we make RPC
more efficient for just counting when passing NULL, then it is feasible
to write python code that could benefit from that efficiency.
