## usage: cut (X, BREAKS)
##
## Create categorical data out of numerical or continuous data by
## cutting into intervals.
##
## If BREAKS is a scalar, the data is cut into that many equal-width
## intervals. If BREAKS is a vector of break points, the category has
## length(BREAKS)-1 groups.
##
## Returns a vector of the same size as X telling which group each point
## in X belongs to. Groups are labelled from 1 to the number of groups;
## points outside the range of BREAKS are labelled by NaN.
