Since org-colview is pretty long, I decided to look into the manual
instead.  But I couldn't make the column view to do what I wanted, i.e.,
count the TODO, DONE etc. items in various subtrees.  (What I want is
more or less "select status, count(*) group by status" for every level-1
tree.)  And I don't see the equivalent of "count()" among the possible
"summary types": https://orgmode.org/manual/Column-attributes.html.
