Quantile computations are common and useful enough that they may merit = convenience functions in Calc in the future. > The patch I sent previously, with my (hopefully) useful suggestions in > the user manual, is probably the end of my useful contribution here.

That = would both help validating your patch and protect against future = regressions.
