@davidfor is implementing all of these with templates not column keys, giving you the choice of returning the value of a column or calculating something. If so then you can produce a word count "pages * something" where "something" is some average words per page. Isn't as accurate but it lets you get rid of the column.
[OPINION]I think his choice to move to templates for things is inspired. It doesn't take away any functionality, but adds many possibilities. Of course some basic "recipes" will need to be provided, specifically how to return a column value ("{column_key}"), but that isn't hard.
