    Remove "small" "trailing" coefficients from a polynomial.

    "Small" means "small in absolute value" and is controlled by the

    Parameters
    ----------
    c : array_like
        1-d array of coefficients, ordered from lowest order to highest.
    tol : number, optional
        Trailing (i.e., highest order) elements with absolute value less
