Why count() returns no error when string is given ?

For example when I do:
strlen(array(1,2,3));
php shows: Warning: strlen() expects parameter 1 to be string, array
given in...
but when I do:
count('string');
It simply returns 1 like nothing happened. I would expect such
behavior if I write:
count((array)'string')
but otherwise such behavior is very misleading and inconsistent.
