======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>
