# Syntax: histogram [-c] [COLUMN [MIN [MAX [STEP [PREC]]]]]
#   If MIN, MAX, STEP and PREC are specified, count from MIN to MAX in
#   steps of STEP, showing PREC digits after the decimal point.
#   -c = also print cumulative sums
#
# Defaults: COLUMN = 1 (first column)
#           only show the values that are listed (no MIN, MAX, STEP, PREC)
#           MAX = 6, STEP = 0.5, PREC = 1
#
# Examples: histogram <datafile
#           histogram 2 <datafile
#           histogram 5 0 <datafile
#           histogram 4 0 5 0.1 1 <datafile
