We already define stuff in an appendix for the more common log and trig functions after discovering that Fortran weenies were complaining about them being missing. Why not look to other mathematical things that can be implemented in a fairly recognizable way? Matrix and vector math libraries exist all over - producing something that would look familiar to those users might be a useful extension. Obviously I and a couple of extremely bright math guys thought that statistics would make a good addition. There must be other math functions that would be useful as well. Lots of numeric programmers might learn to love Ada as a result.
