  3 =============================================
  4 ============================================================
  5 ===========================================================================

And scale down big numbers:

>>> print bar_chart({
...     '1': 2**1,
...     '2': 2**2,
...     '3': 2**3,
...     '4': 2**4,
...     '5': 2**5,
...     '6': 2**6,
...     '7': 2**7,
... })
1 =
2 ==
3 ====
4 =========
5 ===================
