New issue 1281: YTQuadTreeProj contains many unusable methods
https://bitbucket.org/yt_analysis/yt/issues/1281/ytquadtreeproj-contains-many-unusable

scott_feister:

Unless I am understanding something wrong, there are several non-functioning methods listed in YTQuadTreeProj.

The [auto-generated documentation](yt-project.org/doc/reference/api/generated/yt.data_objects.construction_data_containers.YTQuadTreeProj.html) lists methods like "min()", "max()", "mean()", "integrate()", etc. These methods are also available to the python interface, but almost all of them just throw errors at me that say "Data selector... not implemented".

This is some combination of:
1. A bug
2. An oversight in documentation
3. An issue with method inheritance for YTQuadTreeProj

OR I just messed something up.

```
#!python

import yt

exampledir = "/home/sfeister/test/yttest/ytExampleData/"
ds = yt.load(exampledir + "Enzo_64/DD0043/data0043")

reg = ds.all_data()
print reg.min('Density') # Works

proj = reg.integrate('Density', 2) # Do a projection of the region
print(proj.__doc__) # Methods of YTQuadTree include "integrate", "min", etc.
print("/n/n")
print proj.min('Density') # Fails, with error below
print proj.integrate('Density', 1) # Fails, similar error

```

Error is as follows:

```
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
