'''Like dict.update() but add counts instead of replacing them.
Source can be an iterable, a dictionary, or another Counter instance.

# The regular dict.update() operation makes no sense here because the
# replace behavior results in the some of original untouched counts
# being mixed-in with all of the other counts for a mismash that
# doesn't have a straight-forward interpretation in most counting
# contexts. Instead, we implement straight-addition. Both the inputs
# and outputs are allowed to contain zero and negative counts.
