;FUNCTION average(array,d [,STDEV=stdev] [,/NAN])
;PURPOSE:
;   Returns the average value of an array.
;   The input array can be an array of structures
;   Similar to TOTAL, but returns the average over the given dimension.
;   Also returns standard deviation via an optional keyword argument.
;   Works with structures only if d eq 0
;
