In the event, I checked in the C, the pyx, and the python it was based
on. I may end up moving the code around, since the von Mises CDF is
actually some sort of incomplete Bessel function and since if my code
were in scipy.special it might be easier to get at compiled versions
of i0 and erf (and therefore provide an entirely compiled function
without the gruesome vectorization).
