I understand. No bug == no problem.
I can imagine only one case where the distinction between gaps and items would be useful: series with same name and index like Volume/Issue

Series 101
Series 102
....
Series 152
Series 201
Series 203
...
Series 252

In this case, you should expect 1 gap and 48 missing items
If you get 2 gaps and 49 missing items, you're more warned than in case of just 48 gaps.

(Think of 8 series, you have to calculate the number of missing items, but if you have 10 gaps, you know for sure there is something wrong)

But this is only be useful if there are users that use their index in this way. (in my case it isn't because I use the fraction to distinct the issues)
