## usage: logspace (x1, x2, n)
##
## Return a vector of n logarithmically equally spaced points between
## 10^x1 and 10^x2 inclusive.
##
## If the final argument is omitted, n = 50 is assumed.
##
## All three arguments must be scalars.
##
## Note that if if x2 is pi, the points are between 10^x1 and pi, NOT
## 10^x1 and 10^pi.
##
## Yes, this is pretty stupid, because you could achieve the same
## result with logspace (x1, log10 (pi)), but Matlab does this, and
## claims that is useful for signal processing applications.
