Also means do not behave the same on NULL, for example when using r.univar
(according to my understanding of the documentation, haven't tested)
NULL cells are excluded from the computation, so 1 cell with a value 1
and 9 NULL will give a mean of 1 while 1 cell with a value 1 and 9 with 
value 0 will give a mean of 0.1.
