Algorithms and proofs
Every method is a published one, cited on its help page; none is new, and
the package does not claim to be the first implementation of any of them in
R. What it adds is a single checked implementation: arguments are checked
in R and again in the compiled kernels, quantities that overflow or cancel
in the obvious formula are computed in a stable form, and most functions
rest on identities or bounds proved in Lean, which proof() names.
