## Test for mean of a normal sample with known variance.
##
## Perform a T-test of the null hypothesis @code{mean (@var{x}) ==
## @var{m}} for a sample @var{x} from a normal distribution with unknown
## mean and unknown std deviation.  Under the null, the test statistic
## @var{t} has a Student's t distribution.  The default value of
## @var{m} is 0.
##
## If the second argument @var{y} is a vector, a paired-t test of the
## hypothesis @code{mean (@var{x}) = mean (@var{y})} is performed.
##
## Name-Value pair arguments can be used to set various options.
## @qcode{"alpha"} can be used to specify the significance level
## of the test (the default value is 0.05).  @qcode{"tail"}, can be used
## to select the desired alternative hypotheses.  If the value is
## @qcode{"both"} (default) the null is tested against the two-sided 
## alternative @code{mean (@var{x}) != @var{m}}.
## If it is @qcode{"right"} the one-sided alternative @code{mean (@var{x})
## > @var{m}} is considered.  Similarly for @qcode{"left"}, the one-sided 
## alternative @code{mean (@var{x}) < @var{m}} is considered.
## When argument @var{x} is a matrix, @qcode{"dim"} can be used to selection
## the dimension over which to perform the test.  (The default is the 
## first non-singleton dimension).
##
## If @var{h} is 0 the null hypothesis is accepted, if it is 1 the null
## hypothesis is rejected. The p-value of the test is returned in @var{pval}.
## A 100(1-alpha)% confidence interval is returned in @var{ci}. @var{stats}
## is a structure containing the value of the test statistic (@var{tstat}),
## the degrees of freedom (@var{df}) and the sample standard deviation
## (@var{sd}).
