## @deftypefn {Function File} {} accumdim (@var{subs}, @var{vals}, @var{dim}, @var{n}, @var{func}, @var{fillval})
## Create an array by accumulating the slices of an array into the
## positions defined by their subscripts along a specified dimension.
## The subscripts are defined by the index vector @var{subs}.
## The dimension is specified by @var{dim}.  If not given, it defaults
## to the first non-singleton dimension.  The length of @var{subs} must
## be equal to @code{size (@var{vals}, @var{dim})}.
##
## The extent of the result matrix in the working dimension will be
## determined by the subscripts themselves.  However, if @var{n} is
## defined it determines this extent.
##
## The default action of @code{accumdim} is to sum the subarrays with the
## same subscripts.  This behavior can be modified by defining the
## @var{func} function.  This should be a function or function handle
## that accepts an array and a dimension, and reduces the array along
## this dimension.  As a special exception, the built-in @code{min} and
## @code{max} functions can be used directly, and @code{accumdim}
## accounts for the middle empty argument that is used in their calling.
##
## The slices of the returned array that have no subscripts associated
## with them are set to zero.  Defining @var{fillval} to some other
## value allows these values to be defined.
##
## An example of the use of @code{accumdim} is:
##
## @example
## @group
## accumdim ([1, 2, 1, 2, 1], [ 7, -10,   4;
##                             -5, -12,   8;
##                            -12,   2,   8;
##                            -10,   9,  -3;
##                             -5,  -3, -13])
## @result{} [-10,-11,-1;-15,-3,5]
## @end group
