=head1 NAME
checkargs -- Provide rudimentary argument checking for perl5 functions
=head1 SYNOPSIS
check_args(cArgsExpected, @_)
check_args_range(cArgsMin, cArgsMax, @_)
check_args_at_least(cArgsMin, @_)
where "@_" should be supplied literally.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
As the first line of user-written subroutine foo, do one of the following:
my ($arg1, $arg2) = check_args(2, @_);
my ($arg1, @rest) = check_args_range(1, 4, @_);
my ($arg1, @rest) = check_args_at_least(1, @_);
my @args = check_args_at_least(0, @_);
These functions may also be called for side effect (put a call to one
of the functions near the beginning of the subroutine), but using the
argument checkers to set the argument list is the recommended usage.
The number of arguments and their definedness are checked; if the wrong
number are received, the program exits with an error message.

## Need to check that use of caller(1) really gives desired results.
## Need to give input chunk information.
## Is this obviated by Perl 5.003's declarations? Not entirely, I think.
