\n\
Numeric central difference gradient of f with respect\n\
to argument \"minarg\".\n\
* first argument: function name (string)\n\
* second argument: all arguments of the function (cell array)\n\
* third argument: (optional) the argument to differentiate w.r.t.\n\

\"f\" may be vector-valued. If \"f\" returns\n\
an n-vector, and the argument is a k-vector, the gradient\n\
will be an nxk matrix\n\
\n\
Example:\n\
function a = f(x);\n\
	a = [x'*x; 2*x];\n\
endfunction\n\
