## Numerically evaluate a triple integral.  The function over which to
## integrate is defined by @code{@var{f}}, and the interval for the
## integration is defined by @code{[@var{xa}, @var{xb}, @var{ya},
## @var{yb}, @var{za}, @var{zb}]}.  The function @var{f} must accept a
## vector @var{x} and a scalar @var{y}, and return a vector of the same
## length as @var{x}.
##
## If defined, @var{tol} defines the absolute tolerance to which to
## which to integrate each sub-integral.
##
## Additional arguments, are passed directly to @var{f}.  To use the default
## value for @var{tol} one may pass an empty matrix.
