The following org-mode file uses a Babel code block to return the ratio
of the number of words in the current buffer against the word-goal
variable as a percent.

Note that it doesn't take into account the words used in the code block,
so that may be worth adding to the word-goal, or possibly something
fancier could be done, like pushing the code block out into the Library
of Babel, and adding a grep call to the shell script to remove the
#+call line from the file before passing it to wc.
