I vote to never convert 1F1 functions to the Whittaker M functions. My
reference books
(A & S and G & R) have more formulae (special cases, recursion,
expansions, etc) for the
1F1 function than it has for the Whittaker functions. Translating the
recursion relations
form 1F1 form to Whittaker form is error-prone (at least it is for me).
