You made an error in your macro, Jeremy. You should have used $arg$ instead
of <arg>.
Thus your code would be
\define count-words(title,word)
<$text text={{{ [[$title$]get[text]split[$word$]count[]subtract[1]] }}}/>
\end
But it is false nonetheless because it would, for example, cut word "totem"
if asked for word "to". My regular expression does not do that thanks to
the \b at both ends of the arguments.
