+A subroutine to tabulate confidence limits for observed successes in some trials.
+The true success fraction is, of course,
+successes divided by an 'infinite' number of such trials,
+but this gives us a guide to the confidence we have have in the success_fraction
+we observe with the limited number of trials used.
+It could guide us to assess how many trials we would need to be more sure.
