History
-------
Following my [IOCCC 1991 Best Utility](https://github.com/SirWumpus/ioccc-ae) win I needed something to help with applying the IOCCC Rule 2 Size Limit during the development of my [1992](https://github.com/SirWumpus/ioccc-am) and [1993](https://github.com/SirWumpus/ioccc-am) submissions (combined with some `sed(1)` transformations). The tool kept being refined over the years as I kepted submitted entries to the IOCCC.
Sometime around 2012 or 2013 I was in contact with one of the IOCCC judges, [Landon Court Noll](https://github.com/lcn2), proposing Rule 2 Size Limit changes and mentioned I had this tool I used to help prepare my entries. Landon perked up to the idea of including the tool as part of the contest to help contestants (and judges) apply the Rule 2 Size Limit. The `iocccsize` tool first appeared in IOCCC 2014.
The IOCCC has now moved to retool its submission process by integrating a version of this tool into [mkiocccentry](https://github.com/ioccc-src/mkiocccentry) with changes made to turn the core into a library function `rule_count()`.
