\description{
  Numerical gradient for a function at a given value (internal).

\arguments{
  \item{func}{
    Function taking a vector argument x (returns a vector of length>=1)
}
  \item{x}{
    vector of arguments for where the gradient is wanted.
}
  \item{\dots}{
    other arguments to the function

\details{
  (func(x+delta,...)-func(x-delta,...))/(2 delta) where delta is the third root
  of the machine precision times pmax(1,abs(x)).
}
\value{
  A vector if func(x) has length 1, otherwise a matrix with rows for x
  and columns for func(x).
