Portability.  Ability to run on live systems, cell phones with termux and 
datamash and R are not installed, or there is not enough space to install them 
:)

Hopefully some day I can get a pinephone and install fedora on it and install 
most of the great software that does the work easy for us.  I can use gnuplot 
to create the boxplots for the five number Summary, but a shell script where it 
is not installed/unavailable would be nice.  Then we can make use of  metapost 
to create the box and whiskers plot.

Best Regards,

Antonio
