Description
Implement TransformBoundedField::mean and/or integrate (either can trivially be defined in terms of the other).
This will require some sort of numerical approximation (unless one wishes to evaluate the transform at every single point in the bbox), so some means of specifying the precision must be supported. Since BoundedField::mean accepts no arguments, those parameters may have to be configuration parameters of the object itself.
One possibility, suggested by David Berry, is to call tranGridForward on the contained frame set and take the mean of those points.
This ticket doesn't say what high-level functionality it's designed to support, and I can't think of what it might be, so I suspect it's case where the ABC might try to do a bit too much and we feel like we need to implement something just to satisfy that. I don't think that's a good idea (something I differ on relative to my past self), so I'm going to close this as Won't Fix, and we can reopen or create a new ticket if a real need arises.
