## Return an orthonormal basis of the null space of @var{A}.
##
## The dimension of the null space is taken as the number of singular values of
## @var{A} not greater than @var{tol}.  If the argument @var{tol} is missing,
## it is computed as
##
## @example
## max (size (@var{A})) * max (svd (@var{A})) * eps
