Quite right; I hadn't thought about that, but it's pretty
cool.

The command line would have to be modified so that we're not
catching words with numbers, or other such non-English
words. It would also have to convert everything to lowercase
so that 'the' doesn't count as a different word from 'The'.
After all that is said and done, and after appropriate error
checking, I wonder whether the bash trick would be any
shorter?
