I was looking under "Books & Articles" and one of the submenu 
items is titled "Example: wc". So I thought it must be a heck of 
an example, but upon clicking, I saw a program with a bunch of 
nested foreach statements and no explanations. Why is this on the 
front page sidebar at all? It certainly doesn't belong under 
"Books & Articles" because it's just code.

Is this something we can move to the wiki? I will make the 
change, but I'm hoping somebody will say something if it belongs 
there.

It used to be the code example displayed on the start page, if I 
remember correctly. Shouldn't it be put there (with some text 
that explains what's going on), if not already done so?

Looks like it was temporarily "parked" under "Books & Articles" 
and forgotten.

Okay. Do you know how to add it as a code example? It doesn't 
make a good first impression.

The code doesn't look up to date and maybe it's been replaced 
with a more up to date example (i.e. with range chaining). It 
uses ulong instead of size_t. I dunno, maybe it should be dropped 
completely.

ulong is appropriate here; the maximum word count should not be 
dependent on the system's memory limits, since it's streaming 
from an (arbitrary large) file.
