FWIW, this change has been committed, along with some bug fixes and
such. I've also added entries for bessel, j0 and friends and noted
that they are deprecated and to use bessel_j and friends instead.
Also, if bessel, j0, etc., don't evaluate to numbers, they are
converted to use bessel_j instead. Thus:
(C1) bessel(x, n);
(D1) BESSEL_J(n, x)
Some simple tests of the bessel functions have also been added.
