		Functional Trait Moment Calculation // Calculates the community
		four 'moments' (mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis) of a
		given trait based on the moments described in Wieczynski et al.
		(2019) doi:10.1073/pnas.1813723116. These functional metrics
		are extremely useful in characterizing the distribution of
		traits in a plant community. It also provides tidyverse-
		friendly wrappers to seamlessly calculate advanced functional
		diversity indices (e.g., FDis, Rao's Q) using 'fundiversity'
		(Grenie et al. 2023 doi:10.1111/ecog.06585) and functional
		rarity indices using 'funrar' (Grenie et al. 2017
		doi:10.1111/ddi.12629). Evaluating these community-weighted
		moments and diversity metrics allows researchers to evaluate
		shifts in optimal phenotypes and understand ecological
		filtering with exactness.
