I think you are correct about the ML focus. Perhaps an explanation of favoring speed over accuracy in the README would clarify this.

Revisiting this issue, reflecting on the experience with LogExpFunctions.jl. A year after the suggestion (https://github.com/JuliaStats/StatsFuns.jl/issues/46) to move it out of StatsFuns.jl 4 years ago, the code was transferred into a...

I am not sure that a very rich type system like this a good match for describing various features of distributions. Is it used much for dispatch? Could accessor/query function...

@matbesancon: can you clarify what the type hierarchy is actually used for?

> To dispatch on corresponding methods Sure — in general, this is what types are used for. But I meant specifically in this package. My understanding of the code suggests...

Revisiting this issue: traits are now used pervasively in Julia, so a potential redesign could just replace (a lot of) the type hierarchy with traits, addressing this and a host...

I don't know how to get the type inferred correctly. Eg ```julia using Roots function find_zero_ext(f, g, bracket) local val x = find_zero(x -> (val = g(x); f(val)), bracket) (x,...

Assume I don't know the result type of `g(x)` (or that it's a nested `NamedTuple` of epic horribleness).

AFAICT tectonic would need to pull a lot of stuff on demand, since pgfplots is a rather heavy LaTeX package, so I am not sure. PRs with experiments are welcome.

I think that just documenting the preamble solution would be best, as it makes the variables explicit.
