I don't like this as a measure of the amount of code which must be
written and maintained, because copy&paste might actually come shorter
or equal to introducing appropriate named abstractions, while being much
worse design.
I think token count is the most objective measure from measures which
are reasonably easy to take automatically. If not token count, then
line count, and finally character count.
