|  SUM Sum of elements.

|     SUM(X,DIM) sums along the dimension DIM.

|     Example: If X = [0 1 2
|                      3 4 5]
| 
|     then sum(X,1) is [3 5 7] and sum(X,2) is [ 3

This feature is already on my (long) list of projects.  Would anyone
be interested in contributing code?  If so, please contact me first as
I have some ideas about how it should be done.

Thanks,
