Brian. The example I have in mind is for functional data where there
are several ways to define a median. For example, it can be defined as
the pointwise median of a set of functions {f_j(x); j=1,...,n}. Or it
can be defined as m(x) = arg min_{g(x)} \sum_j |g(x) - f_j(x)| dx. The
latter can be calc

Not without a reasoned case -- see 'Writing R Extensions' as to why it is
a non-trivial change that affects all existing methods (and there are

Can we please have a ... argument in median() to make it possible to pass
