Calculate Jacobian using complex step differentiation

[A,z]=jacobiancsd(fun,x)
function [A,z]=jacobiancsd(fun,x)
% JACOBIANCSD    Complex Step Jacobian
% J = jacobiancsd(f,x) returns the numberical (m x n) Jacobian matrix of a 
% m-vector function, f(x) at the refdrence point, x (n-vector).
% [J,z] = jacobiancsd(f,x) also returns the function value, z=f(x).
%
% Example
% f=@(x)[x(1)*x(2)^2;x(1)*x(3)^2;x(1)^2];
% x=1:3;
% [J,z]=jacobiancsd(f,x)
% J =
%     4     4     0
%     9     0     6
%     2     0     0
% z =
%     4
%     9
%     1
