One advantage of storing it is that debug logging that refers to the shader
can use the same number and it can be correlated with the info dumped earlier.

Not that that is part of this patch, but that seems to be the goal.

If not for that there's no real use for a counter anyway: just have whatever
parses the output do the counting based on what is printed first.

But I think it's fine as it is.
