data	The array to search
min_location	Position of the minimum value
max_location	Position of the maximum value

	Allowed:	bool array
	Default:	null

[min,max]

Example

- include "statistics.g"
- r := range\_with\_location([1:5], minloc, maxloc)  
- print r, minloc, maxloc                         
[1 5]  1 5
- r := range_with_location([1:5], minloc, maxloc, [F,T,T,T,F])
- print r, minloc, maxloc
