I was thinking that as there's a module called "math" (a short name)
the statistics module should be called "stats", but then I remembered
that there's already a module called "stat", which could be confusing...
FWIW, I would also prefer a shorter name (or even folding statistics into
math altogether.)

We already have pstat module and no-one complained that it can be confused
with stat.  In general, I don't like when stdlib steals good English words
from the user.  If stats does not work - consider statslib.
