Hey, that is pretty neat. I can see it being useful for sub-sampling
noisy imagery data with low signal:noise (but > 50%) using a median
filter.

Do we have a way to do a trimmed mean? (eg mean of values between perc10
and perc90; replace 10% with 5% or x%, or 2 Stdevs, etc..) I've always
liked it as a nice compromise between the outlier-discarding ability of
the median and the less arbitrary nature of the mean.
I'd like to have this in r.univar and r.series* too... :)

[*] only useful with many input maps of course
