 `StdDev()` and `Variance()` are currently supported for SpatiaLite, but
 not SQLite. Django's documentation highlights that there is an extension
 module available that provides support, but there are problems with this
 suggestion:

 - This extension module is not provided compiled and only implements
 `STDDEV` and `VARIANCE`.
 - Django uses `STDDEV_POP` and `STDDEV_SAMP` for `StdDev()`; `VAR_POP` and
 `VAR_SAMP` for `Variance()` - so they wouldn't work anyway.

 As an alternative, we can make use of the `statistics` module added to the
 standard library in Python 3.4.
