Sometimes you just want some quick statistics about the software you are going to work on. Like the number of lines of code, nothing too fancy. This gives you an initial overview so you can do early estimations.

Sure, you can set up a complete SonarQube instance with the sonar-magik-plugin and do the analysis, but that takes some effort. There is also the question of whether the SonarQube license even allows this, given the commercial incentive.

A faster and easier approach is to use a tool like cloc. This simply counts lines of code, comments, and white/empty lines, and is often enough to do a quick estimation. With this PR, cloc now also supports Magik.
