Comment 4 for bug 302498

Hm.

While this wouldn't be too difficult code-wise, it certainly would be easy to get the "figuring out what to count"-part wrong.

We just had a conversation on IRC about it, I'll sum it up:

1) different paper sizes create a lot of problems, so we can't really use fixed numbers
2) additionally, there's different different criteria one might count: line count, word count, character count. All have their pros and cons
3) Making all this configurable (see pt 1) would add a lot of complexity (another tab) to our preferences gui and hence more distraction

We decided to remove this issue from milestone 0.4 and instead plan to offer it as a plugin later.
