I too prefer the median_low naming rather than median.low.  I'm not
sure I can articulate why, but certainly the fact that that latter
isn't used anywhere else in the stdlib that I can think of is
probably a lot of it :)

Perhaps the underlying thought is that we don't use classes pure
function namespaces:  we expect classes to be something more than
that.
