I often find myself wanting to use a t-test. Wikipedia suggests that really, I 
should probably be using Welch’s t-test, because it works well when variances 
and sample sizes are different, and about as well as student’s t-test when 
variances and sample sizes are the same. 

My vague recollection is that wanting these things makes me a frequentist, and 
a Bad Person. And that this is related to the reason that it’s not already 
present in the math/statistics package, whose feet I am (seriously!) not fit to 
wash. Not in a statistical sense, any way.

Are there good reasons not to implement a simple package containing welch’s 
t-test? And maybe student’s t-test, just for the heck of it?
