Indeed, I have no problem seeing this as a new mode of
test_line_count() triggered by an option. In fact, I suggested exactly
that[1] when this idea first arose (except I named the option `-c`
rather than `-e`, but the latter is fine). However, my suggestion was
pretty much shot down[2] (and I don't entirely disagree with [2],
which is why I didn't pursue the idea in [1]).
