+Digitize Keyword Egde
+---------------------
+A keyword argument has been added to `np.digitize` so that the
+edge case is covered in the last bin. For example,
+
+```
+x = [1, 2, 3]
+bins = [0, 1.5, 3]
+```
+
+`np.digitize(x, bins, right=False, edge=True)` yields `[1, 2, 2]`
+whereas before the edge keyword argument existed it would yield
+`[1, 2, 3]`.
