And along with this, even if it just returns the total number of queue members 
available, that could be useful if you're calling via something like a Local 
channel, where you could use the GROUP() and GROUP_COUNT() functions.

Place a GROUP() in the Local channel prior to calling the member, and then you 
can do:

exten => start,n,Set(MEMBERS_TO_TAKE_CALLS=$[${GROUP_COUNT(agents)} - 
${QUEUE_MEMBER_COUNT(queue)}])

Something like that anyways.
