## usage: null (A, tol)
## null (A)
##
## Returns an orthonormal basis of the null space of A.
##
## The dimension of the null space is taken as the number of singular
## values of A not greater than tol; the default for tol is
## max (size (A)) * sigma_max (A) * eps, where sigma_max (A) is the
## maximal singular value of A.
