function cholcheck(L,A,tol,meth)
% CHOLCHECK(L,A,tol,meth)
%
% Checks the Cholesky factorization of a two-by-two symmetric matrix of
% wavenumbers, noting that L is LOWER-triangular, so A=L*L^T.
%
% INPUT:
%
% L        The purported determinant Cholesky factorization [Nx3]
% A        The actual matrix whose factorization this should be [Nx3]
% tol      The negative of the tolerance exponent [be explicit~]
% meth     1 By multiplication and comparing against itself
%          2 By using Matlab's function CHOL at a random wavenumber
%
% If it passes, no output, if it doesn't, get an error
