Thank you for your advice, Raymond, which I much appreciate. I have started to use the more_itertools package.
I probably also need to take Counter() more seriously but I have shied away from it until now, fearing that it might be more focussed on 'counting' than on 'multiset operations' (i.e. such as the API here: https://multiset.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
