Halstead defined something like a dozen or twenty metrics for source code,
including the one you described.

When the obvious studies were done on real programs, lots of them, *ALL* of
his metrics were shown to be very strongly correlated with SLOC.  At that
point, interest faded, because SLOC is far easier to measure than any of
Halstead's metrics.
