Oh wait, we don't need that header. Some small chopping and it builds
without it.

So, I've pushed this now. It made me chuckle to see the counts update as
I type along.

There are some titchy little wrinkles worth looking at, e.g. its got
handlers for cursor and mouse move and things like that to update the
count, but not apparently for selecting text by clicking the mouse, i.e.
double click to select a word and single click somewhere else to
unselect the text.
