Yes, it is a good idea to get the hypergeometric code autoloaded. I have
already written some code to implement the Struve H and L functions,
which uses the hypergeometric code for numerical evaluation.

Further work is possible to get more new special functions and to
improve existing special functions.

I think this is a good place.
