Changes (by kcrisman):

  * work_issues:  => add erf(sqrt(2)) and erf(45000).n(), formatting,
                  perhaps speed


Comment:

 Here's another thing that should be added, reported by one of the PREP
 workshop participants before this patch was in:
 {{{
 erf(4500).n()
 1.0000000
 erf(45000).n()
 <boom>
 }}}
 So Pari was not handling big number in erf before.  With this patch,
 though
 {{{
 sage: erf(4500).n()
 1.00000000000000
 sage: erf(45000).n()
 1.00000000000000
 sage: erf(4500000000).n()
 1.00000000000000
 }}}
 Since none of the doctests in the current patch seem to test "big" real
 input to erf, we should add this too.
