   * \brief Elliptic integrals and functions
   *
   * This provides the elliptic functions and integrals needed for Ellipsoid,
   * GeodesicExact, and TransverseMercatorExact.  Two categories of function
   * are provided:
   * - \e static functions to compute symmetric elliptic integrals
   *   (https://dlmf.nist.gov/19.16.i)
   * - \e member functions to compute Legrendre's elliptic
   *   integrals (https://dlmf.nist.gov/19.2.ii) and the
   *   Jacobi elliptic functions (https://dlmf.nist.gov/22.2).
   * .
   * In the latter case, an object is constructed giving the modulus \e k (and
   * optionally the parameter &alpha;<sup>2</sup>).  The modulus is always
   * passed as its square <i>k</i><sup>2</sup> which allows \e k to be pure
   * imaginary (<i>k</i><sup>2</sup> &lt; 0).  (Confusingly, Abramowitz and
   * Stegun call \e m = <i>k</i><sup>2</sup> the "parameter" and \e n =
   * &alpha;<sup>2</sup> the "characteristic".)
   *
   * In geodesic applications, it is convenient to separate the incomplete
   * integrals into secular and periodic components, e.g.,
   * \f[
   *   E(\phi, k) = (2 E(k) / \pi) [ \phi + \delta E(\phi, k) ]
   * \f]
   * where &delta;\e E(&phi;, \e k) is an odd periodic function with period
   * &pi;.
   *
   * The computation of the elliptic integrals uses the algorithms given in
   * - B. C. Carlson,
   *   <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/BF02198293"> Computation of real or
   *   complex elliptic integrals</a>, Numerical Algorithms 10, 13--26 (1995);
   *   <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/math/9409227">preprint</a>.
   * .
   * with the additional optimizations given in https://dlmf.nist.gov/19.36.i.
   * The computation of the Jacobi elliptic functions uses the algorithm given
   * in
   * - R. Bulirsch,
   *   <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/BF01397975"> Numerical Calculation of
   *   Elliptic Integrals and Elliptic Functions</a>, Numericshe Mathematik 7,
   *   78--90 (1965).
   * .
   * The notation follows https://dlmf.nist.gov/19 and https://dlmf.nist.gov/22
