+%PARSEPVPAIRS Validate parameter name/value pairs and throw errors if necessary.
+%   Given the cell array of valid parameter names, a corresponding cell array of
+%   parameter default values, and a variable length list of parameter name/value
+%   pairs, validate the specified name/value pairs and assign values to output
+%   parameters.
+%
+%   [P1, P2, ...] = parsepvpairs(Names, Defaults, 'Name1', Value1, 'Name2', Value2, ...)
+%
+%   Inputs:
+%      Names - Cell array of valid parameter names.
+%
+%   Defaults - Cell array of default values for the parameters named in Names.
+%
+%      Name# - Character strings of parameter names to be validated and
+%              assigned the corresponding value that immediately follows each
+%              in the input argument list. Parameter name validation is
+%              case-insensitive and partial string matches are allowed provided
+%              no ambiguities exist.
+%
+%     Value# - The values assigned to the corresponding parameter that
+%              immediately precede each in the input argument list.
+%
+%   Outputs:
+%         P# - Parameters assigned the parameter values Value1, Value2, ...
+%              in the same order as the names listed in Names. Parameters
+%              corresponding to entries in Names that are not specified in the
+%              name/value pairs are set to the corresponding value listed in
+%              Defaults.

+% Short-circuit the input argument checking for performance purposes. Under the
+% following specific circumstances, users may by-pass P-V pair validation when:
+%
+% (1) Values are assigned to all recognized parameters,
+% (2) Parameters are specified in exactly the same order as in the input NAMES,
+% (3) All parameters are completely specified (i.e., exact matches and no partial 
+%     names allowed).
