simSummary
eases the process of summarizing simulation results.
Simulations often produce some intermediate results (some focal statistic(s)),
that need to be summarized over many simulation replicates. simSummary
helps with summarizing these focal statistics.

simSummary
accepts as input an (outer) list of (inner) lists,
where all inner lists must have the same structure and only scalars, vectors,
matrices, and arrays can be used in inner lists. Function combines all inputs
in a list of arrays and summarizes array values with specified functions that
can work on vector like inputs.
The return element is also a list (outer) of lists (inner), where each inner list has the same structure as inner lists of input, but holding one of the summary statistics - one summary statistics per one inner list.
