There are a couple of outstanding issues that I am aware of, but I don't 
believe that either of these affect acceptance/rejection of the PEP. 
Please correct me if I am wrong.

1) Implementation details of the statistics.sum function. Oscar is 
giving me a lot of very valuable assistance speeding up the 
implementation of sum.

2) The current implementation has extensive docstrings, but will also 
need a separate statistics.rst file.


I don't recall any other outstanding issues, if I have forgotten any, 
please remind me.
