Comment:

 REFEREE REPORT:

   0. All tests pass in the entire tree after applying this.

   1. I'm OK with not adding std_sample and std_population simply because
 R, matlab, mathematica all don't and the instructor can easily add some
 alias's for their class.

   2. Add copyright header block.

   3. Add a docstring section at the top with AUTHOR, overview of
 capabilities, etc.

   4. Don't import numpy at top level; it'll just get moved later since we
 should not import numpy/matplotlib/etc. at startup.

   5. For {{{def std(v, bias=False):}}} and any other function that handles
 special types, put in examples that illustrate that your code for handling
 these types works.

 Fix all the above and I'll be happy with this patch!
