[patch] Selection stats in statusbar

[Pavel Sanda]

Hi,

I need to adhere precise word/character counts in sections of a document.
For this I need to have instantaneous visual feedback of stats when selecting
blocks of text.

The attached patch does this. Is there some objection to push this into master?
(If no objection raised I'll add string translation layer to the patch.)
