Why not just?

Counter2 - Counter1

And if you want to uncounterify it then
dict(Counter2 - Counter1)

Counters are awesome.

Yes -- agreed. But 'counter' is a strange name -- after checking whether
'bag' and 'multiset' are there in the library, I would not think to
check anything else.

Bag and multiset are names only CS weenies would think to look for.
Counter is the name for the rest of us :-)


Give me bag or multiset any day of the week, it's blatantly obvious what they do. Counter, what the heck? :)
