moment functions with dimen keyword [message #63797]

Someone mentioned the desirability of having the mean, etc. functions
take a dimension keyword. It struck me as such a good idea that I
spent this afternoon making versions of the built-in MOMENT, MEAN,
VARIANCE, STDDEV, SKEWNESS and KURTOSIS functions so that they accept
a DIMEN= keyword that works as you'd expect.

However, given that the majority of the code and documentation is from
the original files[*], and is therefore copyright ITT, it's clearly
not kosher for me to distribute them. Would people be interested in a
"diff" that could be used to patch the built-in functions to generate
the new ones (which I assume would be okay)? Or can anyone think of
another solution? Or is this something that no one really needs
anyway? :-)=

-Jeremy.

[*] Actually, while the code in MOMENT remains largely the same, the
code for the other functions is entirely re-written, it's just that
the documentation is essentially identical. So I could in principle re-
write the documentation for those and distribute them legitimately...
but that won't work for MOMENT_D.
