#' Frechet Value at Risk
#'
#' Estimates the VaR of a portfolio assuming extreme losses
#' are Frechet distributed, for specified range of confidence level and a given
#' holding period.
#'
#' Note that the long-right-hand tail is fitted to losses, not profits.
#'
#'
#' @param mu Location parameter for daily L/P
#' @param sigma Scale parameter for daily L/P
#' @param tail.index Tail index
#' @param n Block size from which maxima are drawn
#' @param cl Confidence level
#' @param hp Holding period
#' @return Value at Risk. If cl and hp are scalars, it returns scalar VaR. If cl
#' is vector and hp is a scalar, or viceversa, returns vector of VaRs. If both
#' cl and hp are vectors, returns a matrix of VaRs.
