+## usage: y=pulstran(t,d,'func',...)
+## y=pulstran(t,d,p,Fs,'interp')
+##
+## Generate the signal y=sum(func(t+d,...)) for each d. If d is a
+## matrix of two columns, the first column is the delay d and the second
+## column is the amplitude a, and y=sum(a*func(t+d)) for each d,a.
+## Clearly, func must be a function which accepts a vector of times.
+## Any extra arguments needed for the function must be tagged on the end.
+##
+## Example
+## fs = 11025; # arbitrary sample rate
+## f0 = 100; # pulse train sample rate
+## w = 0.001; # pulse width of 1 millisecond
+## auplot(pulstran(0:1/fs:0.1, 0:1/f0:0.1, 'rectpuls', w), fs);
+##
+## If instead of a function name you supply a pulse shape sampled at
+## frequency Fs (default 1 Hz), an interpolated version of the pulse
+## is added at each delay d. The interpolation stays within the the
+## time range of the delayed pulse. The interpolation method defaults
+## to linear, but it can be any interpolation method accepted by the
+## function interp1.
+##
+## Example
+## fs = 11025; # arbitrary sample rate
+## f0 = 100; # pulse train sample rate
+## w = boxcar(10); # pulse width of 1 millisecond at 10 kHz
+## auplot(pulstran(0:1/fs:0.1, 0:1/f0:0.1, w, 10000), fs);
+
+## TODO: Make it faster. It is currently unusable for anything real.
+## TODO: It may not be possible to speed it up with the present interface.
+## TODO: See speech/voice.m for a better way.
+
+## Note that pulstran can be used for some pretty strange things such
+## as simple band-limited interpolation:
+## xf = 0:0.05:10; yf = sin(2*pi*xf/5);
+## xp = 0:10; yp = sin(2*pi*xp/5); # .2 Hz sine sampled every second
+## s = pulstran(xf, [xp, yp],'sinc');
+## plot(f, yf, ";original;", xf, s, ";sinc;",xp,yp,"*;;");
+## You wouldn't want to do this in practice since it is expensive, and
+## since it works much better with a windowed sinc function, at least
+## for short samples.
