Of course, the counting also needs to consider that a context clause
of the form "WITH Foo, Bar;" should count as *two* not one: the actual
motivation is to reduce the number of dependencies, not the the number
of clauses per se. So when we talk about the number of WITHs that a unit
has, we really intend to refer to the the number of units it depends on.
Such counting is simplified by coding standards that disallow multiple
unit WITH clauses.
