Topic: Segment length analysis?

Thank you for your reply Paul. At any rate, this was supposed to be an agnostic question (i.e. not specifically SDL-related).
Also, if I'm not mistaken, what the Studio analysis says is based on totals and "fuzzy bands", while what I meant is an analysis specifically based on number of words per segment.
In other words, if the analysis says a file has 100 segments, 2500 words, and 10000 characters, all I know is what the average length per segment is (25 words), but in reality, I could have a few segments with big chunks of text and a lot of smaller/tiny segments.
So, what I'm talking about is a breakdown based on segment length rather than (or "in addition to", of course...) fuzzy matching, so that a translator would have an additional metric to discern how time consuming a task could be, at a glance.
