    @shivaram, I looked at dplyr package, there is no "sd", "var" defined in 
the package, seems the page is referencing "sd" "var" in R base.
    
    Yes, stddev/variance agg functions we are adding have similar syntax as 
"sd" and "var" in R, as you can think of a Column as a vector of same type. So 
we'd better add aliases for them.
    
    Note that var() in R computes sample variance (I think "sd" also uses 
sample variance, but not verified) instead of population variance.
