Unfortunately David is correct. In looking more closely at your
(Brian's) code offering, I see that it still uses #each. So in the
context of String, the same problem arsies --I can't count on a string
being iterated over by chars. I'll have to create an overriding #freq
method specifically for string --and the other methods that work the
same way.
