Thanks, but this introduces new problems for me -- the regexp matches on
every line, so it trucks along past both drawers and regular text to the
next heading, and stops there. I think the test for the drawer end is
necessary, which probably means the regexp grouping is also necessary…

PS My own use case (another version of org word count) didn't rely on a
return value from the function, but it strikes me that, all else being
equal, a return value of point could be more useful than nothing…
