Review Comment:
I have to disagree. We should really trust R here and learn from
statisticians.
Let's say I want to calculate the 50%-quantile and the value is 33. Then 33
is the *quantile* while 50% is the corresponding *probability* or, more
specific, probability level of the quantile. 33 and 50% are 2 different numbers
for 2 different quantities with 2 different names.
