Raymond,
I completely understand your comment but I do disagree.
My view would be that the documentation of the stdlib should document the entry
level use cases.
The first example given uses nothing special from the Counter class - you could
implement exactly the same with a defaultdict(int) - the only difference would
be that output will read defaultdict(<type 'int'>,{'blue': 3, 'red': 2,
'green': 1}).
I think the examples in the documentation should at least demonstrate something
important on the class being documented - and the first example doesn't.
I am very tempted to re-open - but I wont - no benefit in bouncing the status
as we discuss this.
