# This is a quick alias for tallying values -- given a list of values,
# this prints a table of the values in ascending order.
#
# e.g. to find the third character of words that start with 'a':
#
#     $ grep '^a' /usr/share/dict/words | cut -c 3 | tally
#     ...
#      955 c
#      975 r
#     1066 o
#     1191 a
#     3226 t
