It was me who wrote the code for the "new" dgrid3d
function, a couple of years back. I am just looking at
the code and trying to get back into what I tried to do.

All of the "new" smoothing kernels take the same number
of parameters. There is a set of square brackets missing
in the doc. (My bad.)

This should not be legal. (But it might work - got to try.)

This should be identical to the first.

That is correct. The synopsis shows only the new form
of the command, which makes the kernel explicit.
According to the 2nd to last para in the doc, the first
version is accepted for backward compatibility
I'll look at Ethan's patch next.
