Thanks @rlucas7. No worries about the delay. I've cleaned up the merge conflicts.

I removed the tests for `iv_ratio.c` from `test_xsf_cuda.py`. They were broken by https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/20760; the failure is unrelated to this PR.

> So are these tests passing because we're not testing for that particular type (`double_double`) in the compilation here for xsf or am I missing something? It’s just that not...

Thanks @rlucas7! Sorry, I should have explained better when I took the iv_ratio test out. Can you take a look at #21454 next? There’s kind of a lot going on...

> my guess is that these are undocumented aliases for backwards-compatibility. At least I think that is the case for `ndimage.sum` and https://docs.scipy.org/doc/scipy/reference/generated/scipy.ndimage.sum_labels.html. Ah, that makes sense. For `scipy.signal.czt` it's...

> would you be able to also generate a table which is granular at the function-level which we could throw in the Wiki for reference? Yeah, that sounds doable. The...

For `scipy.optimize.line_search_wolfe2`, I discovered that `scipy.optimize.line_search` is an alias for `scipy.optimize.line_search_wolfe2` created with an `import as` https://github.com/scipy/scipy/blob/7d936fa25e2e8fa74ec6399620dd6490e4dfb33e/scipy/optimize/_optimize.py#L36-L38 so `scipy.optimize.line_search.__name__ == 'line_search_wolfe2'`, and I was using `.__name__` for the names in...

OK, it looks like the failures are due to more aliases I missed. I guess I'll just add them all to the disallow list. Strangely, there are no errors when...

I removed the commit adding a `__name__` attribute to `MultiUFunc`s since I no longer use the `__name__` attribute. Instead I directly specified to skip distributions from the old infrastructure since...

That all sounds good @rgommers. I started expanding `special` yesterday, building off of https://github.com/scipy/scipy/pull/22795 and will keep at it.
