[ROOT] Getting a function maximum position

Hi Root folks,

If I want to find automatically the x-axis position of a 1-d 
user-defined function's peak, is there a function that does like 
TF1::GetMaximumX()?  For now I have to resort to dividing a given x-axis 
range into small intervals and do a TF1::Eval() and save them into an 
array.  Then I do a TMath::Sort() on that array in order to find the 
peak's index, then convert the index into position value.  Of course, if 
the ROOT development team says that's an unnecessary feature, I'd 
respect that.  Or is there some Root class I overlooked that does the 
job?...

Cheers,
