"""A histogram generating object.
This object serves the sole purpose of formatting (key, val) pairs as an
ASCII histogram, including bars and percentage markers, and taking care of
label alignment, scaling, etc. In addition to the standard __init__
interface, two static methods are provided for conveniently converting data
in different formats into a histogram. Histogram generation is exported via
its __str__ method, and looks as follows:
Yes |################ | 5 (83.3%)
No |### | 1 (16.6%)
TODO(garnold) we may want to add actual methods for adding data or tweaking
the output layout and formatting. For now, though, this is fine.
