 George has convinced me that we should explicitly specify the bin labels
 of our histograms rather than rely on a formula and lots of special cases
 for short histogram lengths.

 The most straight-forward thing is to let researchers specify a list of
 bin labels.. It might be more compact to encode if this list is a list of
 widths, but that may just be an encoding decision for the consensus. We
 should probably choose simplest possible representation here.
