        <para>according to its arguments defines an
            <literal>m</literal>x<literal>n</literal> matrix with 1 along the main
            diagonal or an identity matrix of the same dimension as
            <literal>A</literal> . In case <varname>A</varname> is an hypermatrix,
            <varname>X</varname> will be defined as
            <literal>X(i,i,...,i) = 1</literal> for all <literal>i</literal> from 1 to <literal>min(size(A))</literal>.

            <literal>eye(10)</literal> is interpreted as

            <literal>1</literal>. (It is NOT a ten by ten identity matrix!).

        <para>
            If <literal>A</literal> is a linear system represented by a
            <literal>syslin</literal> list, <literal>eye(A)</literal> returns an
            <literal>eye</literal> matrix of appropriate dimension: (number of outputs
            x number of inputs).
        </para>
        <para>
            <literal>eye()</literal> produces a identity matrix with undefined
            dimensions. Dimensions will be defined when this identity matrix is added
            to a matrix with fixed dimensions.
