-Histogram, left inclusive. Assumes regular bin size.
+Compute a histogram of `xs` into pre-allocated count vector `cnts`, using the bin edges
+defined by range `r`. Bins are left-inclusive: a value `x` falls into bin `i` when
+`r[i] <= x < r[i+1]`.
+
+`r` must have uniform step size (e.g. a `StepRangeLen` or `UnitRange`) and at least 2
+elements. The length of `cnts` must equal `length(r) - 1`. Values outside the range are
+silently ignored.
+
+`cnts` is not zeroed before accumulation, so it must be initialized (e.g. with `zeros`).
+This also means `uniformhist!` can be called repeatedly to accumulate counts from multiple
+datasets.
+
+Uses multiplication by the reciprocal of the step size instead of division for a ~20x
+speedup over naive binning.
+
+See also [`uniformhist`](@ref).
