Also, there is currently no way of relating these stats back to the actual
sentence they came from when using multiple threads as far as I can tell.
Shall I also prefix each of these stats with the line number that the
source sentence came from? This should be useful for timing analysis such
as Lane's sentence splitting.

Will modifying the format of these output lines with a prefix cause trouble
for anyone?
