% DESCRIPTION: LAPLACE implements continuous s-domain Laplace transform for smodel objects.
%
% CALL:        obj = laplace(mdl, ret_var)
%              obj = mdl.laplace(ret_var)
%              obj = mdl.laplace(in_var, ret_var) [Please note the order!]
%              obj = mdl.laplace(plist('ret_var', ret_var, 'in_var', in_var))
%              obj = mdl.laplace(pl)
%
% INPUTS:      mdl      - input smodels
%              ret_var  - a string with a variable name to transform into
%              in_var   - a string with a variable name to transform with respect to
%              pl       - input parameter list
%
% OUTPUTS:     obj  - output smodel(s)
