The following modification of the collections.Counter implementation

https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/fe4efc0032b5

was just checked in with the line

result[elem] = 0 - count

Does this have an advantage over the obvious

result[elem] = -count

?

x = 0.0
-x
-0.0


0 - x
0.0

That's a subtle difference, but does it matter in the context of the patch?

I don't know. Perhaps there is more meaningful difference for decimals.

This code is not new (see
https://hg.python.org/cpython/rev/e908ebc160f0).
