Given μ : ι → Measure α, we define Measure.sum μ as the measure which to a measurable set s
associates ∑' i, μ i s.

For the next theorem, the countability assumption is necessary. For a counterexample, consider
an uncountable space, with a distinguished point x₀, and the sigma-algebra made of countable sets
not containing x₀, and their complements. All points but x₀ are measurable.
Consider the sum of the Dirac masses at points different from x₀, and s = {x₀}. For any Dirac
mass δ_x, we have δ_x (x₀) = 0, so ∑' x, δ_x (x₀) = 0. On the other hand, the measure
sum δ_x gives mass one to each point different from x₀, so it gives infinite mass to any
measurable set containing x₀ (as such a set is uncountable), and by outer regularity one gets
sum δ_x {x₀} = ∞.
