#################################################

This module provides some useful list and array manipulation routines
modeled after those found in the |Stat package by Gary Perlman, plus a
number of other useful list/file manipulation functions.  The list-based
functions include:

      abut (source,*args)
      simpleabut (source, addon)
      colex (listoflists,cnums)
      collapse (listoflists,keepcols,collapsecols,fcn1=None,fcn2=None,cfcn=None)
      dm (listoflists,criterion)
      flat (l)
      linexand (listoflists,columnlist,valuelist)
      linexor (listoflists,columnlist,valuelist)
      linedelimited (inlist,delimiter)
      lineincols (inlist,colsize)
      lineincustcols (inlist,colsizes)
      list2string (inlist)
      makelol(inlist)
      makestr(x)
      printcc (lst,extra=2)
      printincols (listoflists,colsize)
      pl (listoflists)
      printl(listoflists)
      replace (lst,oldval,newval)
      recode (inlist,listmap,cols='all')
      remap (listoflists,criterion)
      roundlist (inlist,num_digits_to_round_floats_to)
      sortby(listoflists,sortcols)
      unique (inlist)
      duplicates(inlist)
      writedelimited (listoflists, delimiter, file, writetype='w')

Some of these functions have alternate versions which are defined only if
Numeric (NumPy) can be imported.  These functions are generally named as
above, with an 'a' prefix.

      aabut (source, *args)
      acolex (a,indices,axis=1)
      acollapse (a,keepcols,collapsecols,sterr=0,ns=0)
      adm (a,criterion)
      alinexand (a,columnlist,valuelist)
      alinexor (a,columnlist,valuelist)
      areplace (a,oldval,newval)
      arecode (a,listmap,col='all')
      arowcompare (row1, row2)
      arowsame (row1, row2)
      asortrows(a,axis=0)
      aunique(inarray)
      aduplicates(inarray)

Currently, the code is all but completely un-optimized.  In many cases, the
array versions of functions amount simply to aliases to built-in array
functions/methods.  Their inclusion here is for function name consistency.
