BinEdges <: AbstractVector{Float64}

This type implements a vector-like data structure to be used for histogram bin edges, it can handle both uniform and non-uniform binnings in a single type to reduce the amount of parametric types. It would switch to O(1) `searchsortedlast` if the binning is uniform.

To make an empty histogram

use the all-keyword-arguments constructor:

Hist1D(;
    counttype=Float64,
    binedges::E
    bincounts = zeros(counttype, length.(_to_tuple(binedges)) .- 1),
    sumw2 = zero(bincounts),
    nentries = 0
    overflow::Bool = false
) where {E<:NTuple{1,Any}}

To make an histogram given data (and weights etc.)

use the a positional argument for data and keyword-arguments for the rest:

Hist1D(array::E;
    counttype=Float64,
    binedges=nothing,
    weights=nothing,
    nbins=nothing,
    overflow=false)
) where {E<:NTuple{1,Any}}

    sumw2 = zero(bincounts),
    nentries = 0
    overflow::Bool = false
) where {E<:NTuple{2,Any}}
