So, if an explicit LB matches the language default, then the display should also be `[C]` (where C = count if we have a count, or C = U + (1 - L) if we have upper_bound).

Sorry, no, in the course of editing the comment I lost the important part:  When converting UB-only to Count, you need to correctly factor in the default LB: `C = UB + (1 - DefaultLBForLanguage)` otherwise the display for 1-based languages will be incorrect.

Then, since you have to know the default LB anyway, the rest seems not too hard.
