HEGY_test by Lucchetti is older, and GHegy tried to improve it (obtaining not
only 95% critival values but also p-values) and generalize it for any
seasonal periodicity. Then HEGY_test may be considered deprecated if Jack
agrees.
No problem, let's just get rid of mine.
The only thing in partial disagreement that I feel like saying, however,
is: competing implementation of a given technique may be nice to have (the
standard bio-diversity metaphor applies). But certainly, only up to a
point. My implementation hasn't been maintained for a long time and it
should go.
