     This is really 'sweep(x, margin, margin.table(x, margin), "/")'
     for newbies, except that if 'margin' has length zero, then one
     gets 'x/sum(x)'.

     prop.table(x, margin=NULL)

Arguments:

       x: table 

  margin: index, or vector of indices to generate margin for

Value:

     Table like 'x' expressed relative to 'margin'
