as much i dislike awk, this is really a valid argument.

bye, bastian

PS: i digged through the git, and these are my values:

$ git grep AWK | grep -w AWK | cut -d':' -f1  >/tmp/files
$ git grep '#!/bin/awk' | cut -d':' -f1 >>/tmp/files
$ git ls-files | grep \.awk$ >>/tmp/files
$ sort /tmp/files | uniq | wc -l
18

i think, this is not unrealistic...
