// ### bagOfNGrams
/**
 *
 * Generates the bag of ngrams of `size` from the input string. The
 * default size is 2, which means it will generate bag of bigrams by default. It
 * also has an alias **`bong()`**.
 *
 * @alias string#bagOfNGrams
 * @param {string} str the input string.
 * @param {number} [size=2] ngram size.
 * @param {function} [ifn=undefined] a function to build index; it is called for
 * every **unique occurrence of ngram** of `str`; and it receives the ngram and the `idx`
 * as input arguments. The `build()` function of [helper.returnIndexer](#helperreturnindexer)
 * may be used as `ifn`. If `undefined` then index is not built.
 * @param {number} [idx=undefined] the index; passed as the second argument to the `ifn`
 * function.
 * @return {object} bag of ngrams of `size` from `str`.
 * @example
 * bagOfNGrams( 'mama' );
 * // -> { ma: 2, am: 1 }
 * bong( 'mamma' );
 * // -> { ma: 2, am: 1, mm: 1 }
