+# A NxM matrix (N,M > 1) has N + M - 3 diagonals having more than one
+# element.  Creating a set of NxN matrices where each of them have one
+# of the orignal matrix' diagonals as its main diagonal.  Then take the
+# diagonal of these matrices and re-arrange them into a new matrix
+# having the main diagonals of the matrix series as rows. Taking minimum
+# and maximum over the rows.  If min and max equals for every row, the
+# matrix is Toeplitz.
+# Note: Utilizing BAD values in incomplete diagonals that do not account
+# for minimum or maximum.
