The comment on numerical recipes in savgol_coeffs() is about how to
reproduce results mentioned in NR. The code itself is obviously not from NR.

The algorithm in Numerical Recipes is originally from D. Knuth, The Art
of Computer Programming, vol 2.

The code in PyMatrixID is neither Knuth's code nor NR's code, but a
reimplementation. The algorithm itself consists of 8 lines of code, so
they share unavoidable similarities.
