I need to compute coherence between a bunch of different signals, for a
bunch of different trials, and it seems like cohere_pairs() is exactly what
I should use.  However, I'm a little confused about the output.  If I use
cohere() to produce the coherence values for two signals, I get an array of
coherence values, one for each frequency in the frequency array.  However,
if I use cohere_pairs() with just that pair specified, I get the same
frequency array but a single value for that pair.  See the example output
below:

>>> X = np.random.rand(1024,2)
>>> c, f = mpl.mlab.cohere(X[:,0], X[:,1])
>>> c.shape, f.shape
((129,), (129,))

>>> c, p, f = mpl.mlab.cohere_pairs(X, [(0,1)])
>>> f.shape
(129,)
>>> c
0.67176286373547267

>From reading the doc strings I was under the impression that the value
'c[(i,j)]' (output from cohere_pairs) should be the same output you would
get from running 'cohere(X[:,i], X[:,j])'.  Is this a bug, or am I missing
something?

Thanks,
