-This module contains several useful routines for interpolating data
-sets and finding where a given value lies in a sorted list.
-The first is a subroutine used to locate a position in an array of
-values where a given value would fit using bisection. It has been
-designed to be efficient in the common situation that it is called
-repeatedly. The user can supply a different set of comparison
-operators to replace the standard < and <=. For example, given a
-list (1, 2, 5, 8, 15) and the number 9.5 it would return 3.

+* The remaining routines all are related to interpolating sets of
+ (x,y) data pairs. They all take a list of (x,y) data pairs given
+ another x value, return a sensible y value using the list of (x,y)
+ data pairs. Three different interpolating functions are provided.
+ The first, called a constant interpolator, assumes that the
+ function being interpolated moves in non-linear jumps from one
+ value to another. The interpolated value for some value x is the
+ y value of the neighboring (x,y) to the left of the given x. The
+ second interpolator performs a linear interpolation between the
+ neighboring points. The third interpolator is called the robust
+ interpolator and interpolates a smooth curve between all of the
+ (x,y) pairs. To do the interpolation, it first calculates some
+ reasonable derivatives at the (x,y) pairs. The robust interpolator
+ can also use derivative information supplied by the user.
