Should `var(B::LogBinner)` give naive (uncorrelated) variance?

Maybe it's a bit strange that var(B) != var(data).

Isn't that what var(B, 1) gives?

Yes it is. The question is whether var(B) = var(B, 1) would be a better default than var(B) = var(B, _reliable_lvl(B)).

I think it should be consistent with varN, std_error and tau. As we discussed in #4

Yeah. Let's leave it the way it is.
