cquantile on iterables

[yuvalwas]

Hello,
It is a minor thing, but since it already exists, I thought it makes sense that cquantile would be defined for this case as well. To be specific, at the moment cquantile(rand(1000), 0.9) has no method, but it could return quantile(rand(1000), 0.1).
Thanks

@devmotion Why did you transfer this to Statistics? cquantile lives in Distributions.jl, and quantile already accepts any iterator.

Distributions only wants and implements quantile(::UnivariateDistribution, ::Real), and similarly only cquantile(::UnivariateDistribution, ::Real) is of interest there. But methods such as quantile(::AbstractArray, p) (with all its keyword arguments) do not belong in Distributions, and hence similarly IMO something like cquantile(::AbstractArray, ::Real) does not belong there but (if it is desired) next to where quantile(::AbstractArray, ::Real) is defined.

Got it. That makes sense, though I'm not totally convinced it's worth adding a function just to avoid typing 1-p. Do we know why that function judged useful enough to be added to Distributions in the first place?
