## usage: cor (x [, y])
##
## The (i,j)-th entry of cor (x, y) is the correlation between the i-th
## variable in x and the j-th variable in y.
##
## For matrices, each row is an observation and each column a variable;
## vectors are always observations and may be row or column vectors.
##
## cor (x) is cor (x, x).
