This is a good idea, but IMO it doesn't belong in bogofilter itself.
Bogofiter should stick to doing one thing -- Bayesian analysis of 
presented features -- and doing it well.

Your statistics should be gathered by a separate feature extractor which
feeds bogofilter.  I'm working on a framework for such tests now; it's
called `bogometer'.

Let's keep this project small and clean and lightweight, people.
