Hi, Bruce.

I have extended the 'gb.gsl' component with the statistics functions in 
provides. The Float[] has been extended with a "Stat" virtual property 
so that you can issue FloatArray.Stat.StatFunc() to apply StatFunc on 
FloatArray.

I notice that you have other functions in your 'gb.statistics' 
component, so I suggest adding a Gambas part to the gb.gsl component 
that could include the missing statistic functions, which could be 
rewritten on top on the existing GSL ones when it makes sense.

What do you think? I'm not a statistic man, so I ask you.
