I agree that this should be on the (virtual) to-do list. However, we
have to move on to next version because much work is awaiting
us. Hopefully, with the kernel rewrite, it will be possible to
consider only a subset of a document in a somple way, thus making an
elaborate word-counting *much* easier to write.
