 +======Synopsis:======
 +$count(<string> <text>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +The <string> argument is a [[what is a word|dword]] which is unlike most
 +other functions.
 +
 +This function counts how many times <string> appears in the text specified
 +by <text>, possibly overlapping.
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +The uses for a function like this are unlimited.  One may be to count how
 +many times a person's nick appears in a public message, for logging
 +purposes.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +number of times <string> is found in <text>
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +<file>
 +$count(. one.two.three)          returns 2
 +$count(zz zzzz)                  returns 3
 +</file>
