Folks,

I'd like to add weighted statistics to PostgreSQL. While the included
weighted_avg() is trivial to calculate using existing machinery, the
included weighted_stddev_*() functions are not.

I've only done the float8 versions, but if we decide to move forward,
I'd be delighted to add the rest of the numeric types and maybe others
as make sense.

What say?

Cheers,
David.
