 *
 *    Things to remember when using the Numa:
 *
 *    (1) The numa is a struct, not an array.  Always use accessors
 *        (see numabasic.c), never the fields directly.
 *
 *    (2) The number array holds l_float32 values.  It can also
 *        be used to store l_int32 values.  See numabasic.c for
 *        details on using the accessors.
 *
 *    (3) If you use numaCreate(), no numbers are stored and the size is 0.
 *        You have to add numbers to increase the size.
 *        If you want to start with a numa of a fixed size, with each
 *        entry initialized to the same value, use numaMakeConstant().
 *
 *    (4) Occasionally, in the comments we denote the i-th element of a
 *        numa by na[i].  This is conceptual only -- the numa is not an array!

 *        is assumed that the correspondences na[i] as a function
 *        of naloc[i] are properly arranged for all i.
 *
 *  The formula for Lagrangian interpolation through 3 data pts is:
 *       y(x) = y1(x-x2)(x-x3)/((x1-x2)(x1-x3)) +

 *
 *  Then the derivative, using the constants (c1,c2,c3) defined below,
 *  is set to 0:
 *       y'(x) = 2x(c1+c2+c3) - c1(x2+x3) - c2(x1+x3) - c3(x1+x2) = 0
