Ben,

I just took a quick look at interp1q which is described as
as a simplified version of interp1 which provides only
linear interpolation.  The documentation also says that it
"performs little error checking".  Then it says that it provides
"no error checking."  This later is the correct statement.  I doubt
if the saving in execution speed is worth the lack of error checking.

But, this points out that there is more to do in order to bring  the
interpolation code into better shape.

This adds a bit to my argument that first the documentation should
be made to match the code, then someone with some significant time
should work through the capabilities and bring them into better shape.

In the meantime, the fewer code patches which modify functionality
 the better.

Do you agree?

Michael
