;;; 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)
