     * \brief Mueller and Müller (M&M) based clock recovery block with float input, float output.
     * \ingroup synchronizers_blk
     *
     * \details
     * This implements the Mueller and Müller (M&M) discrete-time
     * error-tracking synchronizer.
     *
     * The peak to peak input signal amplitude must be symmetrical
     * about zero, as the M&M timing error detector (TED) is a
     * decision directed TED, and this block uses a symbol decision
     * slicer referenced at zero.
     *
     * The input signal peak amplitude should be controlled to a
     * consistent level (e.g. +/- 1.0) before this block to achieve
     * consistent results for given gain settings; as the TED's output
     * error signal is directly affected by the input amplitude.
     *
     * The input signal must have peaks in order for the TED to output
     * a correct error signal. If the input signal pulses do not have
     * peaks (e.g. rectangular pulses) the input signal should be
     * conditioned with a matched pulse filter or other appropriate
     * filter to peak the input pulses. For a rectangular base pulse
     * that is N samples wide, the matched filter taps would be
     * [1.0/float(N)]*N, or in other words a moving average over N
     * samples.
     *
     * This block will output samples at a rate of one sample per
     * recovered symbol, and is thus not outputting at a constant rate.
     *
     * Output symbols are not a subset of input, but may be interpolated.
     *

     * Estimation and Signal Processing" by Heinrich Meyr, Marc
