Oh, you want count?
So let's simplify this 6 lines, remove not necessary space and group to macro

#macro Center(O)object{O translate-(max_extent(O)+min_extent(O))/2}#end

is your macro shorten? :-)
Note it works fine with all objects.

Center(text{ttf "crystal.ttf" "Mahalis" 2 0})
Center(sphere{0,1})
