// quantile calculates the quantile 'q' based on the given buckets. The buckets
// will be sorted by upperBound by this function (i.e. no sorting needed before
// calling this function). The quantile value is interpolated assuming a linear
// distribution within a bucket. However, if the quantile falls into the highest
// bucket, the upper bound of the 2nd highest bucket is returned. A natural
// lower bound of 0 is assumed if the upper bound of the lowest bucket is
// greater 0. In that case, interpolation in the lowest bucket happens linearly
// between 0 and the upper bound of the lowest bucket. However, if the lowest
// bucket has an upper bound less or equal 0, this upper bound is returned if
// the quantile falls into the lowest bucket.
//
// There are a number of special cases (once we have a way to report errors
// happening during evaluations of AST functions, we should report those
// explicitly):
//
// If 'buckets' has fewer than 2 elements, NaN is returned.
//
// If the highest bucket is not +Inf, NaN is returned.
//
// If q<0, -Inf is returned.
//
// If q>1, +Inf is returned.
