Some of my users are asking for a percentile function to apply to graphs,
especially groups.

my thought is something like:

   percentile(metrics_pattern, percentile, some_point_limit)

  where metrics_pattern is either a single metric, or a group via * use.
  percentile is just a float for the percentile.  .50, .90, .95, and .99 are
the typical use cases.
  some_point_limit  is what i'm not certain about.

If someone else has implemented this, please let me know.  Otherwise I'm
going to figure out
what makes sense for this and implement it.

thanks,
Allan
