* true standardized choice.
*
* Note that there is no canonical way to lift the defining
* contour to the full Riemann surface because of the appearance
* of a "hidden branch point" at z = 0 on non-principal sheets.
* Experts will know the simple algebraic prescription for
* obtaining the sheet they want; non-experts will not want
* to know anything about it. This is why GSL chooses to compute

* as if approaching from y > 0. For other values of theta no
* special consideration is given, since it is assumed that
* no other machine representations of multiples of pi will
* produce y = 0 precisely. This assumption depends on some
* subtle properties of the machine arithmetic, such as
* correct rounding and monotonicity of the underlying
* implementation of sin() and cos().
*
