I certainly agree. Right now, about the only functionality I see in queries is comparison and sortation. Why shouldn't we have summation? While we're at it, I would like to see some elementary statistical functions, specifically: * Average (Arithmetic mean) * Median * Mode * Range * Standard deviation The above might perhaps require an additional extension. Here's another idea for an extension: a "query" that plots a graph.
