+Add new linear interpolation methods for ``quantile`` and ``percentile``
+------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+``quantile`` and ``percentile`` now have 13 linear interpolation methods,
+nine of which can be found in the scientific literature.
+The remaining methods are NumPy specific and are kept for backwards
+compatibility. The default is "inclusive" (method 7), whose behavior is equivalent
+to the former default "linear".
