[alexandria-devel] generic mean, variance, median, standard-deviation

[Tamas Papp]

Hi,

Would it be possible to make MEAN, VARIANCE, MEDIAN, and
STANDARD-DEVIATION generic?  The concepts are meaningful for objects
other than sequences --- including arrays and random-variables (see
cl-random), sequences pre-sorted for easy quantile calculation, etc.
Currently I am shadowing these and redefining them as generic in some
of my libraries.

I am happy to implement the change and send a patch.

Best,

Tamas
