   I know. Normal people see it as an absolute nightmare to try to calculate   
   a count prefix. But surely any self-respecting editor makes that easy,   
   e.g.   
      
       44HThe quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.   
      
   It only took me a few seconds in Emacs, even without the benefit of a   
   custom command to make it faster.
