## Compute the Legendre function of degree @var{n} and order
## @var{m} = 0 @dots{} @var{n}.
##
## The value @var{n} must be a real non-negative integer.
##
## @var{x} is a vector with real-valued elements in the range [-1, 1].
##
## The optional argument @var{normalization} may be one of @qcode{"unnorm"},
## @qcode{"sch"}, or @qcode{"norm"}.  The default if no normalization is given
## is @qcode{"unnorm"}.
##
## When the optional argument @var{normalization} is @qcode{"unnorm"}, compute
## the Legendre function of degree @var{n} and order @var{m} and return all
## values for @var{m} = 0 @dots{} @var{n}.  The return value has one dimension
