 Keep in mind this is a Maxima output, not one we currently can even easily
 access without using Maxima, since this ticket uses mpmath to evaluate
 these functions, and we don't (yet) have different algorithm parameters
 for all these special functions.  We ''do'' test a fair number of values
 of the "Sage" versions of these functions in this ticket!
