C doesn't really have iterables, so this is more likely to be passed
in as an array of doubles and a length:

double median_grouped(double *data, int datasize, double interval)

Yep. If Py3K didn't kill Python, PEP 393 didn't kill Python, and the
lack of Python 2.8 didn't kill Python, then type hinting doesn't have
much chance.
