The functional code is a bit less than 10 lines, but adding in comments and updates to the tests it's significantly longer. So send me the form. One further thing, I haven't written any updates to the manual page or .texi. Does anyone have suggestions for a good way to do that? Also, the code change does *not* implement --count --files-without-match. In a sense, that ought to become defined also, but the output would be the same as for --files-without-match with each file name getting ":0" appended, which seems not worth the trouble of implementing.
