## @deftypefn {Function File} {} toeplitz (@var{c}, @var{r})
## Return the Toeplitz matrix constructed given the first column @var{c},
## and (optionally) the first row @var{r}.  If the first element of @var{c}
## is not the same as the first element of @var{r}, the first element of
## @var{c} is used.  If the second argument is omitted, the first row is
## taken to be the same as the first column.
##
## A square Toeplitz matrix has the form:
