Moving average

Saw a Moving Average example on this site ( http://fssnip.net/4S ) and wondered if it could be done in even fewer lines of code. It can. This is why I love F#!

1:

let movingAverage (period : int) (values : float seq) =
    Seq.windowed period values
    |> Seq.map (fun x -> Array.average x)
val movingAverage : period:int -> values:seq<float> -> seq<float>
