Counts include commands listed under more than one category (e.g. SLICE, HELIX, MINSERT, SUBTRACT/UNION/INTERSECT appear in both their 2D and 3D groups).

Still out of scope: POINTCLOUDATTACH/RECAP (proprietary binary point-cloud parser plus a GPU point renderer) and UNDERLAYLAYERS/UOSNAP (PDF/DWF internal-layer parsing) — each needs an external dependency and real test files.
