Can't let David have all the glory :-)

It's (sort of) on my list of things to do - we do some cool spectral
analysis with 2D histograms - but don't hold your breath.

HISTOGRAM is a hidden gem that works really, really fast,
especially if you already know enough about your data to customise the
binning for speed. Once you've wrapped your brain round the problem
of how the REVERSE_INDICES array is constructed some very powerful
things become possible. HISTOGRAM's documentation does actually talk
about how much faster than WHERE it can be for some sorts of
searching, but the docs for WHERE are silent on the issue.
