`Laguerre.``trim`(tol=0)

  Remove small leading coefficients

  Remove leading coefficients until a coefficient is reached whose absolute value greater than tol or the beginning of the series is reached. If all the coefficients would be removed the series is set to `[0]`. A new Laguerre instance is returned with the new coefficients. The current instance remains unchanged.

  Parameters : | tol : non-negative number. All trailing coefficients less than tol will be removed.
  Returns : | new_instance : Laguerre Contains the new set of coefficients.
