Since max length is just getting the byte length, rename to bytes in order to be more clear.

math
Mathematical functions that generally only operate on a list of numbers (integers, decimals, bytes) and tables. Currently the following functions are implemented:
math avg: Finds the average of a list of numbers or tablesmath eval: Evaluates a list of math expressions into numbersmath max: Finds the maximum within a list of numbers or tablesmath median: Finds the median of a list of numbers or tablesmath min: Finds the minimum within a list of numbers or tablesmath mode: Finds the most frequent element(s) within a list of numbers or tablesmath stddev: Finds the standard deviation of a list of numbers or tablesmath sum: Finds the sum of a list of numbers or tablesmath product: Finds the product of a list of numbers or tablesmath variance: Finds the variance of a list of numbers or tables
However, the mathematical functions like min and max are more permissive and also work on Dates.
Examples
To get the average of the file sizes in a directory, simply pipe the size column from the ls command to the average command.

Errors
math functions are aggregation functions so empty lists are invalid
> echo [] | math avg
error: Error: Unexpected: Cannot perform aggregate math operation on empty data
