/////////////////////////////////  DESCRIPTION  ////////////////////////////////

//  This file implements the following mathematical special functions:
//  1.) erf() = 2/sqrt(pi) * indefinite_integral(e**(-x**2))
//  2.) gamma(s), a real-numbered extension of the integer factorial function
//  It also implements normalized_ligamma(s, z), a normalized lower incomplete
//  gamma function for s < 0.5 only.  Both gamma() and normalized_ligamma() can
//  be called with an _impl suffix to use an implementation version with a few
//  extra precomputed parameters (which may be useful for the caller to reuse).
//  See below for details.
//
//  Design Rationale:
//  Pretty much every line of code in this file is duplicated four times for
//  different input types (vec4/vec3/vec2/float).  This is unfortunate,
//  but Cg doesn't allow function templates.  Macros would be far less verbose,
//  but they would make the code harder to document and read.  I don't expect
//  these functions will require a whole lot of maintenance changes unless
//  someone ever has need for more robust incomplete gamma functions, so code
//  duplication seems to be the lesser evil in this case.
