   inserting or consuming the first dimension depending on the ratio of `sizeof(T)` and `sizeof(S)`.
 * New `append!(vector, collections...)` and `prepend!(vector, collections...)` methods accept multiple
   collections to be appended or prepended ([#36227]).
+* `count` now accepts an optional `init` argument to control the accumulation type ([#37461]).
