## Compute Bessel or Hankel functions of various kinds.
##
## All functions begin with the prefix @qcode{"bessel"}.  The list of
## functions is:
##
## @table @code
## @item besselj
## Bessel functions of the first kind.  If the argument @var{opt} is supplied,
## the result is multiplied by @code{exp (-abs (imag (x)))}.
##
## @item bessely
## Bessel functions of the second kind.  If the argument @var{opt} is supplied,
## the result is multiplied by @w{@code{exp (-abs (imag (x)))}}.
##
## @item besseli
## Modified Bessel functions of the first kind.  If the argument @var{opt} is
## supplied, the result is multiplied by @w{@code{exp (-abs (real (x)))}}.
##
## @item besselk
## Modified Bessel functions of the second kind.  If the argument @var{opt} is
## supplied, the result is multiplied by @w{@code{exp (x)}}.
##
## @item besselh
## Compute Hankel functions of the first (@var{k} = 1) or second (@var{k} = 2)
## kind.  If the argument @var{opt} is supplied, the result is multiplied by
## @w{@code{exp (-I*@var{x})}}@ for @var{k} = 1 or
## @w{@code{exp (I*@var{x})}}@ for @var{k} = 2.
## @end table
##
## If @var{alpha} is a scalar, the result is the same size as @var{x}.  If
## @var{x} is a scalar, the result is the same size as @var{alpha}.  If
## @var{alpha} is a row vector and @var{x} is a column vector, the result is
## a matrix with @code{length (@var{x})} rows and @code{length
## (@var{alpha})} columns.  Otherwise, @var{alpha} and @var{x} must conform
## and the result will be the same size.
##
## The order of the Bessel function @var{alpha} must be real.  The points for
## evaluation @var{x} may be complex.
##
## If requested, @var{ierr} contains the following status information and is
## the same size as the result.
##
## @enumerate 0
## @item
## Normal return.
##
## @item
## Input error, return @code{NaN}.
##
## @item
## Overflow, return @code{Inf}.
##
## @item
## Loss of significance by argument reduction results in less than half of
## machine accuracy.
##
## @item
## Loss of significance by argument reduction, output may be inaccurate.
##
## @item
## Error---no computation, algorithm termination condition not met, return
## @code{NaN}.
