Isn't
if (a.hasOwnProperty(i)) { counts[e] ? ++counts[e] : (counts[e] = 1); }
a better way to deal with sparse arrays in such a loop? Testing e seems
rather heavy-handed, though it's not clear what the OP might want in
anything but the simple case given. In a general counting loop one
would probably want to count zeros and NaNs and so on.
