Contents
What is this?
This package is a small utility that helps you find how frequently a substring
occurs in another string.
When should I use this?
I find this particularly useful when generating code, for example, when building
a string that can either be double or single quoted.
I use this utility to choose single quotes when double quotes are used more
frequently, and double quotes otherwise.
