## Numerically evaluate the triple integral of @var{f}.
## @var{f} is a function handle, inline function, or string
## containing the name of the function to evaluate.  The function @var{f} must
## have the form @math{w = f(x,y,z)} where either @var{x} or @var{y} is a
## vector and the remaining inputs are scalars.  It should return a vector of
## the same length and orientation as @var{x} or @var{y}.
##
## @var{xa}, @var{ya}, @var{za} and @var{xb}, @var{yb}, @var{zb} are the lower
## and upper limits of integration for x, y, and z respectively.  The
## underlying integrator determines whether infinite bounds are accepted.
##
## The optional argument @var{tol} defines the absolute tolerance used to 
## integrate each sub-integral.  The default value is @math{1e^{-6}}.
##
## The optional argument @var{quadf} specifies which underlying integrator
## function to use.  Any choice but @code{quad} is available and the default
## is @code{quadgk}.
##
## Additional arguments, are passed directly to @var{f}.  To use the default
## value for @var{tol} or @var{quadf} one may pass an empty matrix ([]).
