	Some people feel differently, see plots of the gamma functions on

	This is not a very accurate statement, it is known to work also with
  v1.10. We did not check the precise margin between "work" and "not
  work" to make a statement of this sort.

	Thanks for your opinion, this is indeed essential to clarify from
  the beginning.

  Best wishes,
