I'd like to get the output of  CRM_Event_BAO_Event::eventTotalSeats() via the API.  Based on my review of the code, it looks like this isn't currently possible, but wanted to double-check.

Assuming that it's not in there, I think I will take a stab at adding this functionality.  I'm thinking civicrm_api3_participant_get() should return a "total_seats" field if "return.total_seats" is set in the params.  CRM_Event_BAO_Event::eventTotalSeats() requires an event id, so we should generate an error if return.total_seats is set and event_id is not.

One place I'm stuck is how to generate $extraWhereClause for eventTotalSeats().  Presumably this should be constructed from the other params passed to civicrm_api3_participant_get() but I'm not coming up with an elegant way to do it.

Thoughts/suggestions much appreciated.
