Why not just pass counter.elements() to the functions if you want to
use a counter as a frequency table?

Maybe you're arguing that Mappings should be rejected with an
exception? But that seems like an unnecessary restriction just to
catch the mistaken usage of forgetting to call elements() on a
Counter.
