Challenge 18

Santa needs your help to count the number of presents he has to deliver! He's got all kinds of presents, from video game consoles (🎮), stuffed animals (🧸), toy cars (🏎️), books (📚), and more!

We need a general purpose type that can take a tuple of items as its first argument and an item to search for as the second argument. It should return a count of the item specified.

For example:

Count<['👟', '👟', '💻', '🎸', '🧩', '👟', '🧸'], '👟'>

should return 3 because there are three 👟.
