This script ingests a CSV of last names and builds JSON output on the
percentage of last names that begin with each letter of the alphabet.
I initially ran it on a CSV-ified version of the US Census's list of all last

Jump between footnote markers with Vim's * key
" Find related Pandoc footnote numbers

" Vim's * key searches for the next instance of the word under the

" Pandoc footnote in the form [^1] to allow you to jump between
" footnotes with the * key.
