Hmm...
Once upon a time programs didn't use a zillion templates from a STL.
But if the count could be broken down into:
Source Lines:
Included Lines:
Lines read:
Expanded lines out:
Template Include Lines:
Or some other subdivisions that would account for the different
processing paths of programs being compiled, it might be an
interesting number to report (-fline-counts?)
