hi slava and all,
I think it would be neat to have such statistics generated dynamically
on the website. (263/700 documented examples, click here to see the list..)

Then, factor programmers would know what is needed and where to fill in,
(aiming for clear & clean code).
like a todo list for thoroughness.
the same could be done whenever something becomes obsolete, or a good
abstraction is born.

(like ERROR: 's in exceptions and the "new" slot accessors, or a word
that got a low score for idiomatic implementation, etc.)
what are your thoughts about this?
