Don't generate the *Count method in java protobuf

According to protobuf documentation

Repeated fields have some extra methods – a Count method

so something like this:

// repeated .tutorial.Person.PhoneNumber phone = 4;
public List<PhoneNumber> getPhoneList();
public int getPhoneCount();
public PhoneNumber getPhone(int index);

Is it possible to suppress the generation of getPhoneCount? I don't want it in the resulting java class. Is it possible to not generate it?

EDIT: To make clear what my problem is, we have .proto file with something like this

message Bar {
    ...
    optional int32 entries_count = 123
    ...
    repeated Foo entries = 456
    ...
}

Because of that, both entries_count and entries tries to generate function getEntriesCount(), which is obviously not possible. So it's generated instead as getEntriesCount123() and getEntriesCount456(), which is not exactly user friendly. So I would like to suppress generation of one of them, since they are supposed to return same value anyway.

Sadly I'm not really sure how feasible is changing the format, too many things around may depend on it :/
