Hey! Thank you for that suggestion. Unfortunately, after looking into it, I don't think this is something I can do, since I would fundamentally have to change how my code works. (My code makes use of a built-in "Count" class, rather than scanning all the text itself.) I'm sorry...
It's true that a good use of variables and "extend" might already help a lot, though! If you can think of alternative workarounds, I'll try my best to support those!
On the other hand, your comment motivated me to finish up the last few features I've been cooking up, so now there's a different type of update for you to enjoy. Thank you again! :D
