    # for `np.spacing`), we use the above definition. CAVEAT: our `spacing`
    # will be much larger than [1]'s `eps(mineig)`, since `mineig` is usually on
    # the order of 1e-16, and `eps(1e-16)` is on the order of 1e-34, whereas
    # `spacing` will, for Gaussian random matrixes of small dimension, be on
