## @deftypefn {Function File} {} narginchk (@var{minargs}, @var{maxargs})
## Check for correct number of arguments or generate an error message if
## the number of arguments in the calling function is outside the range
## @var{minargs} and @var{maxargs}.  Otherwise, do nothing.
##
## Both @var{minargs} and @var{maxargs} need to be scalar numeric
## values.  Zero, Inf and negative values are all allowed, and
## @var{minargs} and @var{maxargs} may be equal.
##
## Note that this function evaluates @code{nargin} on the caller.
