Comment(by drkirkby):
As you can tell, this is outside my Mathematical knowledge, but just a few
comments.
* If this behaves differently to what someone might expect, then it
should be documented how it works. I believe John is an expert in this
area and he was surprised by the behavior, then clearly it could cause
confusion.
* Since John's computed an computed a result with high precision, I would
put that as a comment in the test code.
* I recall William once saying lcalc was very fast, but to me at least,
this is not computing a very accurate result. I would suggest that should
also be documented too. along with slower, but more accurate alternatives.
