Description

Thank you for your cool package!

numpy.histogram and numpy.histogram2d support the normed argument, which divides counts by the number of samples and the bin width/area. It would be great if fast-histogram could support this as well.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine numpy's normed parameter implementation and add similar normalization logic to the C histogram functions, then expose it in the Python wrapper.
