A very simple plugin that shows the number of characters, words and lines in the status bar of xi editor.
tldr; make install.
To install this plugin, the plugin manifest must be placed in a new directory under
$XI_CONFIG_DIR/plugins, where $XI_CONFIG_DIR is the path passed by your client
to xi core via the client_started RPC's config_dir field, on startup.
On MacOS, by default, $XI_CONFIG_DIR is located at ~/Library/Application Support/XiEditor.
Additionally, the compiled binary should be placed in a bin/ subdir of the
directory containing the manifest. (This is the default; the location can be
changed in the manifest.)
