For me: +1 on statistics.sum, and +0.8 for calling it "sum" instead
of the painfully cumbersome "precise_sum".

Regarding the latter, it is only going to end up in code as "sum"
if someone imports it; concerned coders can always "import sum as
precise_sum" or the like.

And since I've not said it, I'm +1 on the statistics module itself too.
