Then, let's rewrite the functions in descriptive. But I don't like
col_min, as you proposed in a previous post, since other functions
(mean, std, etc.) also operate in column wise form without prefix col_
in their names.
I prefere smin and smax for the sample min and max. These names also
follow the name convention of lmin and lmax.
