- Proc [toCountTable](https://nim-lang.org/docs/tables.html#toCountTable,openArray[A]) now produces a `CountTable` with values correspoding to the number of occurrences of the key in the input. It used to produce a table with all values set to `1`.
Counting occurrences in a sequence used to be:
```nim
let mySeq = @[1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4]
var myCounter = initCountTable[int]()
for item in mySeq:
myCounter.inc item
```
Now, you can simply do:
```nim
let
mySeq = @[1, 2, 1, 3, 1, 4]
myCounter = mySeq.toCountTable()
```
