Dear Martin

The idea of the modifiers was to provide standard names for ancillary data,
such as count of obs, standard error, and so on. The other kinds of thing you
mention, such as means over periods and other statistics, can often be
described by cell_methods, which is more flexible because it refers to the
dimensions of the data.

Best wishes

Jonathan
