Merge 295fe153ad into 633c1fa0a5

Hello, I've added a small blockquote below the description to indicate that this method of accessing an indefinite number of function arguments has been superseded by the use of the spread operator via rest parameters for ES6+ compatibility.

+# Count The Number Of Words On A Webpage
+
+I was reading through a couple sections of the `postfix` documentation and I
+was astounded at how large the webpage is, and that is just for the `main.cf`
+file format.
+
+Curiosity got the best of me and I wanted to get a sense of the magnitude of
+the page. A word count seemed like a good measure.
+
+Using `pandoc` and a couple other unix utilities, I was able to quickly get
+that number.
+
+```bash
+curl -s http://www.postfix.org/postconf.5.html\#virtual_mailbox_maps | pandoc -f html -t plain | wc -w
+   88383
+```
+
+Generically, that is:
+
+```bash
+curl -s url | pandoc -f html -t plain | wc -w
+```
+
+Pandoc produces a plain-text version of the HTML page that was pulled in by
+`curl` and then we use `wc` to get a word (`-w`) count.
