A better way to act on a dim of an N-d array?

What I'm looking to do is allow a specific dimension of an N-d array  
to be acted upon by a function that returns a vector of a consistent  
length.

The algirithms for calculating the quanitles of a sample are  
sufficiently varied that the methods used by mean(), median(), etc, to  
support N-d arrays, are insufficient for my application.

As I am not a competent c/c++ programmer, I chose to do the job in an  
m-file ... but is there a better way to do this?
