Comment (by dimpase):

 Replying to [comment:22 pbruin]:
 > See attachment.  I also discovered (by comparing with PARI) that the
 output of the Bessel function was in fact less correct (on both ARM and
 x86_64) than the doctest suggested.  I changed the output to match the
 actual value instead of Maxima's approximation, and added a suitable `rel
 tol` marker.  Is there a general rule saying whether one should resolve
 such discrepancies like this?

 perhaps, report upstream? By the way, do you know whether Maxima uses
 double precision CL floats in that kinds of functions?
