******************************************************************************
**
** This file contains code to implement the percentile(Y,P) SQL function
** as described below:
**
**   (1)  The percentile(Y,P) function is an aggregate function taking
**        exactly two arguments.
**
**   (2)  If the P argument to percentile(Y,P) is not the same for every
**        row in the aggregate then an error is thrown.  The word "same"
**        in the previous sentence means that the value differ by less
**        than 0.001.
**
**   (3)  If the P argument to percentile(Y,P) evaluates to anything other
**        than a number in the range of 0.0 to 100.0 inclusive then an
**        error is thrown.
**
**   (4)  If any Y argument to percentile(Y,P) evaluates to a value that
**        is not NULL and is not numeric then an error is thrown.
**
**   (5)  If any Y argument to percentile(Y,P) evaluates to plus or minus
**        infinity then an error is thrown.  (SQLite always interprets NaN
**        values as NULL.)
**
**   (6)  Both Y and P in percentile(Y,P) can be arbitrary expressions,
**        including CASE WHEN expressions.
**
**   (7)  The percentile(Y,P) aggregate is able to handle inputs of at least
**        one million (1,000,000) rows.
**
**   (8)  If there are no non-NULL values for Y, then percentile(Y,P)
**        returns NULL.
**
**   (9)  If there is exactly one non-NULL value for Y, the percentile(Y,P)
**        returns the one Y value.
**
**  (10)  If there N non-NULL values of Y where N is two or more and
**        the Y values are ordered from least to greatest and a graph is
**        drawn from 0 to N-1 such that the height of the graph at J is
**        the J-th Y value and such that straight lines are drawn between
**        adjacent Y values, then the percentile(Y,P) function returns
**        the height of the graph at P*(N-1)/100.
**
**  (11)  The percentile(Y,P) function always returns either a floating
**        point number or NULL.
**
**  (12)  The percentile(Y,P) is implemented as a single C99 source-code
**        file that compiles into a shared-library or DLL that can be loaded
**        into SQLite using the sqlite3_load_extension() interface.
