I've attached a patch to add some tests to the test suite for both bern and
euler (I didn't see any explicit tests for either of them), with and without
zerobern:false. Notes:
* I put them in rtest16.mac, after a previous test involving bernpoly and
zerobern. I'm not sure how you all feel about the order of the tests.
* The tests just compare the return values from bern and euler to that of some
values in Table 23.2 in A&S, which is similar to what it seems like some other
tests do. I'm not sure if anything more elaborate is desired.
Let me know if I should change anything, or if you just have something else in
mind.
