Comment:

 Here is a reviewer branch, let me know if you think this is a good
 approach.

 I am actually not too happy with making these error tolerances too large
 in the case of the gamma function; I would say this is such an elementary
 function that it should really be correct up to the last one or two bit.
 Hence it would also be reasonable to decide that these are really bugs in
 whichever library this is implemented in on ARM, and hence should keep
 giving doctest failures on ARM.
