[ruby-core:88436] [Ruby trunk Feature#11076] Enumerable method count_by

Issue #11076 has been updated by janfri (Jan Friedrich).


As Naruse in DevelopersMeeting20180809 mentioned: It is similar to a histogram function.
How about ```histogram_by``` (and for the block-less counterpart ```histogram```)?

I very often use `Hash[array.group_by{|x|x}.map{|x,y|[x,y.size]}]`.

Would be nice with to have a method called `count_by`:

~~~ruby
array = ['aa', 'aA', 'bb', 'cc']
p array.count_by(&:downcase) #=> {'aa'=>2,'bb'=>1,'cc'=>1}
~~~
