Design and Documentation of Argument Lists

The argument lists of all LAPACK routines conform to a single set of conventions for their design and documentation.

Specifications of all LAPACK driver and computational routines are given in Part 2. These are derived from the specifications given in the leading comments in the code, but in Part 2 the specifications for real and complex versions of each routine have been merged, in order to save space.
