I need some help thinking through the correct definition of this function. Will consult with @wardwheeler and @Boarders .
Going to review Farris paper to see if there is a topological agnostic heuristic that can be used instead of the topology-dependent additive character preorder algorithm.
I believe that I came up with a topological agnostic heuristic for the threeway median of the L1 norm.
See: a373f69fecfa64e3834869bb4faa84f4bc81a345
Want a final review tomorrow with @Boarders & @wardwheeler .
Consensus is that it makes sense.
This should use range-like operations (addition and subtraction) to improve the efficiency over the general case when we know we are using the L1 norm as the metric.
