I'll be committing some changes soon that removes j0, j1, etc., y0,
y1, etc. i0, i1, etc., g0, g1, etc. Also bessel_j[n](x) and friends
will no longer be supported. The functions will be bessel_j(n,x).
The change will also change the argument order from bessel(arg, order)
to bessel(order, arg), but perhaps we should just get rid of this
function altogether in favor of bessel_j(n,x).
