SurveyQuestion should report the total number of categories used for poststratification

[mitzimorris]

It would be nice to be able to know the total number of unique poststratification categories - e.g., given a mapping:

> marstat_mapping = list(
+     "Married" = "Married",
+     "Separated" = "Separated",
+     "Divorced" = "Divorced",
+     "Widowed" = "Widowed",
+     "Never married" = "Never married",
+     "Domestic / civil partnership" = "Married"
+ )
> q_marstat <- SurveyQuestion$new(name = "marstat",
+     col_names = c("marstat", "marst2"),
+     values_map= marstat_mapping)

the call q_marstat.values() returns a list of length 6:

> q_marstat$values()
                       marstat        marst2
1                      Married       Married
2                    Separated     Separated
3                     Divorced      Divorced
4                      Widowed       Widowed
5                Never married Never married
6 Domestic / civil partnership       Married

but only increases the size of the poststrat table by a factor of 5.

Is there a point where we print information about the poststratification matrix? It would be useful then to include a number of rows because that's often reported. Kind regards, Lauren

Suggest the print method method for the surveyMap object includes this information once tabulate is not run. Pre-tabulate it prints that this information is not known.
