You are right, the (m+n) count of (reduced applications + unevaluated apps)
has been removed. I could not find anything in the commit log messages
to say why. Would this be a useful feature to re-instate?
There are actually three counts available:
* reduced applications
* applications entered but never completed (blackholes)
* applications that were never demanded
The original (m+n) count included the first two of these. We reasoned
that the third count was uninteresting, because if a value was never
demanded, then it had absolutely no effect on the computation.
