Patrick, this is a great paper. It shows the same care you apply to
maintaining gsl. The writing is also very clear, and I love the table of
acronyms :-). Do you plan to submit for publication in a numerical analysis
journal, or submit to the arXiv?
The only previous quasi-report had been the ongoing design document that I kept
going with James and Brian in the early years, but it is a working design doc,
not anything of the scope you have shown here.
Tiny suggestions: alignment of equation 36 on page 5: "l >= 1" could be moved
quite a bit to the left. Maybe an extra & to make it match the start of the l
>= 1, m > 0.
You might also want to also cite the reference manual (as we ask people to do
when they use gsl :-) ). A recent bibtex skeleton on that is the 2019 Network
Theory edition.
