[issue6038] Should collections.Counter check for int?

[Raymond Hettinger]

Raymond Hettinger <rhettinger at users.sourceforge.net> added the comment:

No thanks.  I'm happy with the API as-is.  It is a consenting adult
tool, simply a dictionary that automatically fills-in missing values
with zero. 

There's no reason to slow it down to a crawl with integer checks at
every step.  Besides, there are some valid use cases with floating point
adjustments.
