Seriously I emailed him a sh script that counted ';', '}' and '#',
to count simple statements, blocks of statements, and cpp directives.  !-)
Sorry, I discarded it.  !-(
It was a one liner, too, so it could be an alias in csh.  !-)
A nice improvement would be to make sure to not count them
inside quotes and comments...
