/* METHOD:
* x < 0: Use reflection formula, G(x) = pi/(sin(pi*x)*x*G(x))
* At negative integers, return +Inf, and set errno.
*
* x < 6.5:
* Use argument reduction G(x+1) = xG(x) to reach the
* range [1.066124,2.066124]. Use a rational
* approximation centered at the minimum (x0+1) to
* ensure monotonicity.
*
* x >= 6.5: Use the asymptotic approximation (Stirling's formula)
* adjusted for equal-ripples:
*
* log(G(x)) ~= (x-.5)*(log(x)-1) + .5(log(2*pi)-1) + 1/x*P(1/(x*x))
*
* Keep extra precision in multiplying (x-.5)(log(x)-1), to
* avoid premature round-off.
*
* Special values:
* non-positive integer: Set overflow trap; return +Inf;
* x > 171.63: Set overflow trap; return +Inf;
* NaN: Set invalid trap; return NaN
*
* Accuracy: Gamma(x) is accurate to within
* x > 0: error provably < 0.9ulp.
* Maximum observed in 1,000,000 trials was .87ulp.
* x < 0:
* Maximum observed error < 4ulp in 1,000,000 trials.
