Issue #11076 has been updated by janfri (Jan Friedrich).


Just my 2 cents: I'm not a native English speaker. Never heard the word "tally" before. So I would never remember it and has always to look at the api docs.

I very often use `Hash[array.group_by{|x|x}.map{|x,y|[x,y.size]}]`.

Would be nice with to have a method called `count_by`:

~~~ruby
array = ['aa', 'aA', 'bb', 'cc']
p array.count_by(&:downcase) #=> {'aa'=>2,'bb'=>1,'cc'=>1}
~~~
