There's already a stem function. Something like stemleaf() could be
used instead.

I did try the R function.  Works pretty well since was surely done by someone who
worked with John Tukey.
Based on comment from Daniel also I will change name to stemleaf()

Just a small correction, TexInfo complains because there's no "@end
deftypefn" at the end.

Right.  I will fix that.

Should this go into one of the forge packages or core? Either into
plot or statistics package but since it's not really a plot, I think
the latter may be more appropriate.

I think statistics/base might be appropriate.
