I don't see how, though I may very well be missing something. To restate
the problem very quickly (though the Python function I posted is much
clearer -- it's only two or three lines of actual code): for every element
in a list of array indices, the element in an output array at that index
needs to be incremented; the tricky part is that this needs to happen once
for *every time the index appears in the list*. Eg., in a 1D example,
[0,1,1,1,4,5] might give you
[1,3,0,0,1,1]
(again, see my previous post for an actual tested example)
I don't see how you can do this with arraymap, take and put.
