## usage: rank (a, tol)
##
## Return the rank of the matrix a. The rank is taken to be the number
## of singular values of a that are greater than tol.
##
## If the second argument is omitted, it is taken to be
##
## tol = max (size (a)) * sigma (1) * eps;
##
## where eps is machine precision and sigma is the largest singular
## value of a.
