- What is your evaluation of the potential usefulness of the library?

It's not my domain, but for anyone interested in data analysis this seems super useful. I think there should be more libraries from that domain, even tough it's not my primary one.

Data analysis is a growing field as everyone knows. There is clearly a demand for histograms, if you search through projects on github, you will find several histogram libraries. The idea of submitting histogram to Boost is to offer a high-quality standard solution that covers everyone's needs - or is at least flexible enough so that it can cover specific needs with a bit of extra work by users (without rewriting the whole thing). If Boost is offering this, there is a high chance that people adopt the standard solution instead of cooking up their own, which leads to less bugs overall and higher code quality.

- Do you think the library should be accepted as a Boost library?

Yes, definitely.

Thank you!
