Comment:
Replying to [comment:25 bober]:
> A few people seemed to agree that if a function is called on a machine
floating point type then it is reasonable for it to give machine dependent
answers.
Obviously the following comment doesn't apply then:
{{{
# It is more accurate than gsl's gamma function and
# should provide consistant results across platforms.
}}}
Also: you should add tests for the infinity stuff that you added.
