;Task:
Given a text file and an integer '''n''', print/display the '''n''' most
common words in the file (and the number of their occurrences) in decreasing frequency.
For the purposes of this task:
* A word is a sequence of one or more contiguous letters.
* You are free to define what a letter is. Underscores, accented letters, apostrophes, and other special characters can be handled at the example writer's discretion. For example, you may treat a compound word like "well-dressed" as either one word or two. The word "it's" could also be one or two words as you see fit. You may also choose not to support non US-ASCII characters. Feel free to explicitly state the thoughts behind the program decisions.
* Assume words will not span multiple lines.
* Do not worry about normalization of word spelling differences. Treat "color" and "colour" as two distinct words.
* Uppercase letters are considered equivalent to their lowercase counterparts.
* Words of equal frequency can be listed in any order.
