The implementation of the spherical Bessel functions is through
this Fortran code:

https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/master/scipy/special/specfun/specfun.f#L1091

It does not have asymptotic expansions for dealing with parts of
the complex plane where the computation via the recurrence does not
work.
