Can you give a concrete example?

Do you have any evidence of this? Code examples that would be
significantly improved by such a change? I can't think of any myself.
I
Well here is some code I wrote recently to build a histogram over a
weighted graph, before becoming aware that Counter existed (score is a
float here):
from collections import defaultdict
total_score_by_depth = defaultdict(float)
total_items_by_depth = defaultdict(int)
num_nodes_by_score = defaul
