Sometimes it is useful to have a quick histogram to represent a certain
distribution -- for example, when investigating a performance regression
in a hash table due to inadequate hashing.

The appended allows us to easily represent a distribution using Unicode
characters. Further, the data structure keeping track of the distribution
is so simple that obtaining its values for off-line processing is trivial.

Example, taking the last 10 commits to QEMU:

 Characters in commit title  Count

                         53      1
                         54      2
