## Compares two matrices and returns the number of bit errors and the bit
## error rate. The binary representations of the variables @var{a} and
## @var{b} are treated and @var{a} and @var{b} can be either:
##
## @table @asis
## @item Both matrices
## In this case both matrices must be the same size and then by default the
## return values @var{num} and @var{rate} are the overall number of bit
## errors and the overall bit error rate.
## @item One column vector
## In this case the column vector is used for bit error comparison column-wise
## with the matrix. The returned values @var{num} and @var{rate} are then
## row vectors containing the number of bit errors and the bit error rate for
## each of the column-wise comparisons. The number of rows in the matrix
## must be the same as the length of the column vector
## @item One row vector
## In this case the row vector is used for bit error comparison row-wise
## with the matrix. The returned values @var{num} and @var{rate} are then
## column vectors containing the number of bit errors and the bit error rate
## for each of the row-wise comparisons. The number of columns in the matrix
## must be the same as the length of the row vector
## @end table
##
## This behavior can be overridden with the variable @var{flag}. @var{flag}
## can take the value "column-wise", "row-wise" or "overall". A column-wise
## comparison is not possible with a row vector and visa-versa.
##
## By default the number of bits in each symbol is assumed to be give by the
## number required to represent the maximum value of @var{a} and @var{b}.
## The number of bits to represent a symbol can be overridden by the variable
## @var{k}.
