Description
It'd be great if bbmle supported estimation with frequency weights, specifically for the formula interface to mle2()
I tried to figure out a way to shoehorn them in and failed.
In principle it's a simple change to the log-likelihood calculation, but there's a fair bit of plumbing to do.
Any thoughts or suggestions appreciated, thank you!

Research direction
Start at the formula interface for mle2() and trace how the log-likelihood is assembled. Identify the plumbing needed to accept frequency weights and verify that weighted estimation works through this interface.
