wc needs --human-readable

[Dan Jacobson]

Gentlemen, consulting the wc(1) man page, one sees no option to print
things out in easy to understand English, etc.  E.g. it is only a
computer whiz who can grok
$ wc .emacs
    712    2768   26633 .emacs

why can't one get it to say which ones are lines, which ones are
words, which ones are characters, if one insists.  I mean several
other commands already have --human-readable or something.  Yes, one
could "write a function", but do you really want to be "user friendly
is not an option"?
