+;;; bag.el --- Working with bags (aka multi-sets) -*- lexical-binding: t -*-
+;; Author: William Carroll <wpcarro@gmail.com>
+
+;;; Commentary:
+;; What is a bag?  A bag should be thought of as a frequency table.  It's a way
+;; to convert a list of something into a set that allows duplicates.  Isn't
+;; allowing duplicates the whole thing with Sets?  Kind of.  But the interface
+;; of Sets is something that bags resemble, so multi-set isn't as bag of a name
+;; as it may first seem.
+;;
+;; If you've used Python's collections.Counter, the concept of a bag should be
+;; familiar already.
+;;
+;; Interface:
+;; - add        :: x -> Bag(x) -> Bag(x)
+;; - remove     :: x -> Bag(x) -> Bag(x)
+;; - union      :: Bag(x) -> Bag(x) -> Bag(x)
+;; - difference :: Bag(x) -> Bag(x) -> Bag(x)
