romberg(f, a, b, tol = .Machine$double.eps^(2/3), ...)
}
\arguments{
  \item{f}{function to be integrated.}
  \item{a, b}{end points of the interval.}
  \item{tol}{requested tolerance.}
  \item{...}{variables to be passed to the function.}
}
\details{
  Simple Romberg integration with an explicit Richardson method applied
  to a series of trapezoidal integrals.
}
\value{
  List of value and relative error.

\note{
  The function does \emph{not} need to be vectorized.
  The relative error can sometimes be scaringly high. It may help
  to interchange the integration limits.
