/* This module computes an average of a set of values within a time
 * window.
 *
 * Algorithm:
 *
 * - Create two windows with a certain expiration period, and
 *   offsetted by period / 2.
 * - Each time you want to account a new value, do it in both windows.
 * - The minimum / maximum / average values are always returned from
 *   the oldest window.
 *
 * Example:
 *
 *        t=0          |t=0.5           |t=1          |t=1.5            |t=2
 *        wnd0: [0,0.5)|wnd0: [0.5,1.5) |             |wnd0: [1.5,2.5)  |
 *        wnd1: [0,1)  |                |wnd1: [1,2)  |                 |
 *
 * Values are returned from:
 *
 *        wnd0---------|wnd1------------|wnd0---------|wnd1-------------|
