The histogram function stubs were mostly incomplete, giving little type-safety. This adds (many) overloads for
histogram_bin_edges,histogram, andhistogramddfor specific input combinations to return specialized dtypes. This additionally changes the returned array types to include their (often 1d) shape-types.Don't let the many overloads scare you; because just like with death metal, once you can get past the machine-gun blastbeats and gutteral pig-squealing, then you'll find that there are actually a couple of notes hidden in there. So static typing is basically the death metal of Python (in a good way). I guess that must be why I like it then 🤔.
