    It's not immediately obvious to me what's being tested here - is this 
checking that default enums' list of splits is syntactically sound? What would 
make this test fail?


> Add a STATS_BIN function to Stellar.

> When passing parameters to models, it's often useful to pass the binned 
> representation of a variable based on an empirical statistical distribution, 
> rather than the actual variable.  This function should accept a set of 
> percentile bins and a statistical sketch and a value.  It should return the 
> index where the percentile of the value falls.
> For instance, consider the value 17 who is percentile 27.  If we use 25, 75, 
> 95 to define our bins, this function would return 1, because its percentile, 
> 27, is between 25 and 75.
