Replying to [comment:33 tscrim]:
> @vbraun There's a sign along the path telling you where the shards are
way off the trail,
I assume you're talking about the docstring. Before I wrote [comment:13] I
seriously tried looking at the specifications of the functions to see if I
could find some admissible subset of the parameter space for which
membership was easy to check, because I suspected that nearly all
practical use of the routine picks parameters from this easily tested
space (after all, when the code was written someone checked the parameters
would always be valid and it seems unlikely they were able to do so using
some deep result). I got stuck *immediately* because the first example
with claimed inadmissible parameters relies on parameters that aren't even
documented. So from experience I know the documentation does not describe
properly which parameter values are admissible or not.
