This library looks very interesting. One feature I would like to see but
couldn't find in the documentation is the ability to combine accumulators.
For example,

  accumulator_set<double, stats<tag::mean> > acc1, acc2;
  acc1(1.0);
  acc2(2.0);
  acc1(acc2);
  cout << "Mean of 1.0 and 2.0 is " << mean(acc1) << endl; // Prints 1.5.

This would be particularly useful for parallel computing applications.

Is this possible? Would it be difficult to add?
