count(.by = )

[krlmlr]

I accidentally used the syntax below, and wonder if this should be the default recommended one, or at least a supported alternative.

options(conflicts.policy = list(warn = FALSE))
library(dplyr)

tibble(a = 1:3) |>
  count(.by = a)
#> # A tibble: 3 × 2
#>     .by     n
#>   <int> <int>
#> 1     1     1
#> 2     2     1
#> 3     3     1

It took me a while to understand why there's a .by column in the output.
