STDEV

["Andreas J. Guelzow" <aguelzow@math.concordia.ab.ca>]

I would like to propose that we add another test case to STDEV to ensure
that implementations use a reasonably stable way of calculating this
expression. (This will make it likely that they use similar code for
this frequently used expression.) This testcase would need an extension
to the test data array and be essentially

STDEV({10000000001,10000000002,10000000003,10000000004,...,10000000010})

the result should be 3.027650+/-epsilon
