+// This class provides a framework for collecting various statistics.
+// The current implementation is oriented towards counting invocations
+// of various types, but that can be easily changed.
+//
+// To use it, you need to declare a Histogram*, and a subtype of
+// HistogramElement:
+//
+//  HistogramElement* MyHistogram;
+//
+//  class MyHistogramElement : public HistogramElement {
+//    public:
+//      MyHistogramElement(char* name);
+//  };
+//
+//  MyHistogramElement::MyHistogramElement(char* elementName) {
+//    _name = elementName;
+//
+//    if(MyHistogram == NULL)
+//      MyHistogram = new Histogram("My Call Counts",100);
+//
+//    MyHistogram->add_element(this);
+//  }
+//
+//  #define MyCountWrapper(arg) static MyHistogramElement* e = new MyHistogramElement(arg); e->increment_count()
+//
+// This gives you a simple way to count invocations of specfic functions:
+//
+// void a_function_that_is_being_counted() {
+//   MyCountWrapper("FunctionName");
+//   ...
+// }
+//
+// To print the results, invoke print() on your Histogram*.
