Comment (by iseulde):

 Here's what's left:

 * Exclude astral unicode blocks that contain punctuation and symbols. The
 most important one is emoji. (word count only)
 * Exclude text inside certain HTML tags like `<pre><code>` (or `<code>` in
 general?) and maybe `<form>`? `<script>` can also be use by admins and
 should also be excluded.
 * Figure out how a mix of languages should be counted (but most likely
 wontfix).
 * Should words separated by `/` count as two? What do we do with URLs?

 One ticket per issue? One ticket for all?
