##
## Find a rational approximation to @var{x} within the tolerance defined by
## @var{tol} using a continued fraction expansion.
##
## For example:
##
## @example
## @group
## rat (pi) = 3 + 1/(7 + 1/16) = 355/113
## rat (e) = 3 + 1/(-4 + 1/(2 + 1/(5 + 1/(-2 + 1/(-7)))))
##         = 1457/536
## @end group
## @end example
##
## When called with two output arguments return the numerator and denominator
## separately as two matrices.
## @seealso{rats}
