That sounds reasonable.  Thanks for the refresher (I looked at the current code
based on your remarks, too).

OK, I see.  The one thing I notice is that the names are getting awfully long,
especially for the non-default case.  I guess that's a price we pay for having
descriptive (no play on words intended) names like DescriptiveStatistics....
