    Plan a real input/output (r2r) transform of various kinds in zero or
 more dimensions, returning an 'fftw_plan' (SeeUsing Plans).
 
    Once you have created a plan for a certain transform type and
 parameters, then creating another plan of the same type and parameters,
 but for different arrays, is fast and shares constant data with the
 first plan (if it still exists).
 
    The planner returns 'NULL' if the plan cannot be created.  A
 non-'NULL' plan is always returned by the basic interface unless you are
 using a customized FFTW configuration supporting a restricted set of
 transforms, or for size-1 'FFTW_REDFT00' kinds (which are not defined).
 
 Arguments
 .........
 
    * 'rank' is the dimensionality of the transform (it should be the
      size of the arrays '*n' and '*kind'), and can be any non-negative
      integer.  The '_1d', '_2d', and '_3d' planners correspond to a
      'rank' of '1', '2', and '3', respectively.  A 'rank' of zero is
      equivalent to a copy of one number from input to output.
 
    * 'n', or 'n0'/'n1'/'n2', or 'n[rank]', respectively, gives the
      (physical) size of the transform dimensions.  They can be any
      positive integer.
 
         - Multi-dimensional arrays are stored in row-major order with
           dimensions: 'n0' x 'n1'; or 'n0' x 'n1' x 'n2'; or 'n[0]' x
           'n[1]' x ...  x 'n[rank-1]'.  SeeMulti-dimensional Array
           Format.
         - FFTW is generally best at handling sizes of the form 2^a 3^b
           5^c 7^d 11^e 13^f, where e+f is either 0 or 1, and the other
           exponents are arbitrary.  Other sizes are computed by means of
           a slow, general-purpose algorithm (which nevertheless retains
           O(n log n) performance even for prime sizes).  (It is possible
           to customize FFTW for different array sizes; see See
           Installation and Customization.)  Transforms whose sizes are
           powers of 2 are especially fast.
         - For a 'REDFT00' or 'RODFT00' transform kind in a dimension of
           size n, it is n-1 or n+1, respectively, that should be
           factorizable in the above form.
 
    * 'in' and 'out' point to the input and output arrays of the
      transform, which may be the same (yielding an in-place transform).
      These arrays are overwritten during planning, unless
      'FFTW_ESTIMATE' is used in the flags.  (The arrays need not be
      initialized, but they must be allocated.)
 
    * 'kind', or 'kind0'/'kind1'/'kind2', or 'kind[rank]', is the kind of
      r2r transform used for the corresponding dimension.  The valid kind
      constants are described in SeeReal-to-Real Transform Kinds.
      In a multi-dimensional transform, what is computed is the separable
      product formed by taking each transform kind along the
      corresponding dimension, one dimension after another.
 
    * 'flags' is a bitwise OR ('|') of zero or more planner flags, as
      defined in SeePlanner Flags.
