Where is the new bromberg? Git says that share/numeric/brmbrg.lisp
hasn't been modified since 2007.

I've fixed up bromberg so that it accepts (via COERCE-BFLOAT-FUN) a
Maxima function name as its integrand. It will appear in the next Maxima
release (scheduled for early December).
Looks like bromberg is undocumented ... I'm too lazy to deal with it at
the moment. We could obviate the lack of documentation by implementing
something more sophisticated than Romberg's method for bigfloats so then
we could just nuke bromberg.
