Table and Array Functions

• Added a new "Table and Array Functions" topic discussing benefits of different methods for working with arrays and tables.
• Added new topics covering Array Functions and Table Functions.
• Added 20 new table functions that work with arrays and complex multi-dimensional tables, including  string-keyed members. These functions have the letter "n" appended to their name. These may also be used in compound statements. For example, the following statement applies the linear equation y = a+ bx to a table of values "x", then returns the mean and standard deviation of the result:

mval, sdev = meansdevn( addn( muln(x,b), a))

• function addn( t, val )

• function mediansdevn( t )
• function minn( t )
• function muln( t, val )
• function normn( t )
• function rankn( t, pct )
• function sdevn( t )
• function sdevxn( t, x )
• function subn( t, val )
• function sumn( t )
