Note that the worst errors occur when the degree increases, values greater
than ~120 are very unlikely to produce sensible results, especially in the
associated polynomial case when the order is also large. Further the relative
errors are likely to grow arbitrarily large when the function is very close
to a root.

A mixture of spot tests of values calculated using functions.wolfram.com,
and randomly generated test data are used: the test data was computed using
<a href="http://shoup.net/ntl/doc/RR.txt" target="_top">NTL::RR</a> at 1000-bit
precision.

<p>
These functions are implemented using the stable three term recurrence relations.
These relations guarantee low absolute error but cannot guarantee low relative
error near one of the roots of the polynomials.
