  ## The point about the second formula above is that when vectorized,
  ## p(k) is evaluated for k=1:n which involves O(n) calls to bincoeff
  ## instead of O(n^2).
  ##
  ## We evaluate the expression as (-1)^(i+j)*(p(i)*p(j))/(i+j-1) except
  ## when p(i)*p(j) would overflow.  In cases where p(i)*p(j) is an exact
  ## machine number, the result is also exact.  Otherwise we calculate
  ## (-1)^(i+j)*p(i)*(p(j)/(i+j-1)).
  ##
  ## The Octave bincoeff routine uses transcendental functions (gammaln
  ## and exp) rather than multiplications, for the sake of speed.
  ## However, it rounds the answer to the nearest integer, which
  ## justifies the claim about exactness made above.
