Description

Sometimes when I count things, I am more interested in percentages than absolute values. I wonder if you would consider a PR along the lines of

function Base.normalize{T,V}(acc::Accumulator{T,V}, p=1)
    _norm = norm(collect(values(acc)), p)
    Accumulator(Dict(key => value/_norm for (key,value) in acc.map))
end

(obviously with documentation, tests, etc).

Research direction

Start by locating the Accumulator implementation and its existing documentation and tests, then review the proposed Base.normalize signature and its handling of p. Done means Accumulator supports normalization to percentages with documented behavior and tests covering the new method.
