For most types that implement __add__, `x + x` is equal to `2 * x`.
That is true for all numbers, list, tuple, str, timedelta, etc. -- but not
for collections.Counter. I can add two Counters, but I can't multiply one
by a scalar. That seems like an oversight.
It would be worthwhile to implement
es/blob/master/ipynb/Probability.ipynb a
bit, and now I no longer need a `normalize` function.)
