Subject: 23.1; Emacs does not have a word count feature
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2010 08:47:30 -0500

Emacs is very good for editing text, but in order to count the number
of words in my article, I have to use the 'wc' command.

I feel like this should be integrated.

I would expect to be able to do M-x word-count-region and have it return
the number of words in the buffer or selection.
