Subject: GetNumPartyPets? GetNumRaidPets?
   With the addition of Party and Raid pets, is there any function to determine how many pets are in the party/raid?

Does their naming start from 1, irrespective of their master's id?

To scan the pets, I'm thinking I have to do this:

local i = 1;
while UnitName("partypet"..i) ~= nil do
i = i + 1;
end

Anyone have any thoughts/ideas?

I'd like to do:

for i = 1,GetNumPartyPets,1 do

but I don't know if the function exists..?

   try something like this:
local petCount = 0;
for i = 1, MAX_PARTY_MEMBERS
if ( UnitExists("partypet"..i) ) then
petCount = petCount + 1;
end
end

This hasn't been tested, and I don't think that's the right constant, but you get the idea. The same logic would be useful for raid pets.

   Yes, UNIT_PET has a useful arg1 so you can check to see if that unit has a pet when the event is fired.
