Oh, this is nice. I'm sorry, I thought you also shadowed the core sum
function.
But why do you shadow the other functions? Matlab renames them instead:
http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stats/nanmean.html
http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stats/nanstd.html
http://www.mathworks.com/help/toolbox/stats/nansum.html
I still think that having mean() do NaN-skipping is and unexpected
(and curiously enough, your package is the first Google hit for "nan
skipping behvaiour") but I think it's ok to do so if you rename the
functions to a name that is obviously not the usual NaN-abiding sum(),
mean(), and std().
