That sounds like a great tool - I fancy using it myself.

A baby brother to that would be an XPL prog that just counts the
occurences of a given word or phrase in the open document. It's
trivial to write such a beastie, but if you don't fancy writing one,
you can get my version at:

All my little XPL progs are in one file - the word counter is called
occur.pm (it even has documentation: occur.txt).
