I'm sorry, but that's a perfectly valid question for any algorithms we add.
I spent quite a bit of effort looking at your code and checking the
literature. If we're going to have to deprecate these functions again later
because they're not accurate enough while there are improved ones around,
we do our users a disservice.

If there's another dev who happens to be an expert to whom it's obvious
that this is a good way to add hankel0/1 (Robert?), then fine. Otherwise
you're going to have to help me a bit.
