Long story short: for creating a series that contains the minimum

series m = x < y ? x : y

which is nice, but I just realised that maybe some people would find it
more intuitive to use the xmin() function, as in "series m = xmin(x,
y)". The function, however, is at present scalar-only.
Just saying, the min() function will do what's wanted here, for 2 or
more series, at the cost of defining a list, as in
<hansl>
open data4-10
series mymin = min(deflist(ENROLL, CATHOL))
</hansl>
