One big problem I've always had with the story statistics box is that it doesn't differentiate between macros and actual prose. It'd be nice if story formats could provide some functions that could be run against passage text that filter out all the prose or macros, so that more accurate stats can be calculated. (And potentially add a "Characters of code:" statistic as well, or even more complex stuff like "Global variables:")
Interesting idea if we can arrive at a consensus that would be broad enough for all story formats. For example, Chapbook doesn't have a local/global variable distinction.
