Have you a summary combining your two survey-result sets?
For this email, it's

    $ sed '/^mandb/,/^$/! d' `mhpath .` |
    > tr -s ' ,\010' \\012 |
    > grep -v '[[:lower:]]' |
    > sort | uniq -c
          1 COMMENT_C
         58 DOCBOOK_C
         17 FONT_MACRO_C
          4 PRIVATE_FONT_MACRO_C
          1 SMALL_C
          1 SPURIOUS_C_1
          3 SPURIOUS_C_2
          2 SPURIOUS_C_3
          1 SPURIOUS_C_4
          1 SPURIOUS_C_5
         10 TILDE_C
