Cómo obtener la estadística de la frecuencia de las palabras en un búfer

Para los lingüistas y muchos otros científicos, analizar la frecuencia de las palabras que aparecen en un texto es una gran herramienta. Algunos editores de texto comerciales y algunos sitios web proporcionan esta herramienta.

El análisis de frecuencia de palabras, ordena las palabras en orden decreciente con respecto a su frecuencia. Por ejemplo en este texto

Emacs Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for those using, extending, or developing the emacs text editor. It's built and run by you as part of the Stack Exchange network of Q&A sites. With your help, we're working together to build a library of detailed answers to every question about emacs.

Me pregunto si ya existe un paquete que pueda usarse para proporcionar tales estadísticas.

PD: Ya hice una pregunta diferente en el mismo espíritu y recibí una respuesta excelente (deseo votar más si pudiera).

El formato de salida (tabla de modo org) está inspirado en el enlace de su pregunta.
