Comparison plots of the forecasted period effect and life expectancy of a series of fitted Lee-Carter models

1	matflc.plot(lca.obj, lca.base, at = 65, label = NULL, ...)

`lca.obj`	a list of fitted model objects of class `lca` (such as returned by `elca.rh` function)
`lca.base`	base fitted model object of class `lca` to be used in comparison
`at`	target age at which to calculate life expectancy
`label`	a data label
`...`	additional arguments to `forecast` function

The function makes use of a univariate ARIMA process (i.e. random walk with drift) in order to extrapolate the period effects k_t of the model objects in lca.obj, which is illustrated by the calendar years together with the corresponding forecasted life expectancy for a given age.
