Feature request: add anonymising numeric transformation

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I would like to be able to anonymise data sets by adding fuzziness. This would 
involve a numeric transformation that (largely) retains aggregate function 
results, but alters each datum slightly.

Rough example of desired result:

 5.0 => 5.1
 4.0 => 3.9
 5.0 => 5.0
 5.0 => 4.9

That doesn't really anonymize the data, as was mentioned the mailing list.

I'm changing it from Accepted to New, not because it's unlikely to get 
implemented, but because no one is assigned to it.

Tim - I suspect you're using the developer's template for entering your bugs.  
You can see it, but this is causing them to come in with a status of "Accepted" 
which makes them less likely to get triaged and assigned to someone.
