[R] frequency table?

[Sarah Goslee]

After that, you might consult the source code for distance() in ecodist.
That function was specifically written to make it easy for people to
add new dissimilarity/similarity metrics, and I think you'll find it helpful
(even if you just extract the bit you need rather than expand the whole
function).
