Defines functions .nexprs

#' Count the number of non-zero counts per cell or feature 
#'
#' Counting the number of non-zero counts in each row (per feature) or column (per cell).
#'
#' @param x A numeric matrix of counts where features are rows and cells are columns.
#'
#' Alternatively, a \linkS4class{SummarizedExperiment} containing such counts.
#' @param detection_limit Numeric scalar providing the value above which  observations are deemed to be expressed. 
#' @param assay.type String or integer specifying the assay of \code{x} to obtain the count matrix from (also the alias \code{exprs_values} is accepted for this argument).
#' @param exprs_values Alias for \code{assay.type}.
#' @param byrow Logical scalar indicating whether to count the number of detected cells per feature.
#' If \code{FALSE}, the function will count the number of detected features per cell.
#' @param subset_row Logical, integer or character vector indicating which rows (i.e. features) to use.
#' @param subset_col Logical, integer or character vector indicating which columns (i.e., cells) to use.
#' @param BPPARAM A \linkS4class{BiocParallelParam} object specifying whether the calculations should be parallelized.
#' Only relevant when \code{x} is a \linkS4class{DelayedMatrix}.
#' @param ... For the generic, further arguments to pass to specific methods.
#'
#' For the SummarizedExperiment method, further arguments to pass to the ANY method.
#'
#' @return An integer vector containing counts per gene or cell, depending on the provided arguments.
