Hi,

think that's definitely the wrong path.

Its very important to express with command-names what they are doing.

If we have a command returning more than one thing, this must be spoken 
out, not done silently.

if you want a combined command, reporting words-lines-chars,

name it that, or give an abbreviation wlc while explaining it for example.

Suggest to avoid unexpected multitudes,

thanks,

Andreas
