It's quite all right. Signal processing isn't something one is too
good at unless one is in it throughout!

Which leads me to think; haven't people been using these functions?
They seem to have quite a few unpolished stuff.

Another example is the docstring for signal.ellipord. If you notice,
at the bottom, it says "Chebyshev" instead of "Elliptic"; obviously,
it has been overlooked while doing a copy paste!

Anyway, when I find a fault like this, I still feel I should post it
on the list to ensure others are facing the same problems, rather than
call for a bug filing straightaway. Is this OK?

Thanks for the quick response!
