 * by -Pi*log(x), which is the limiting value taken approaching
 * from y < 0. This is a conventional choice, though there is no
 * true standardized choice.
 *
 * Note that there is no canonical way to lift the defining
 * contour to the full Riemann surface because of the appearance
 * of a "hidden branch point" at z = 0 on non-principal sheets.
 * Experts will know the simple algebraic prescription for
 * obtaining the sheet they want; non-experts will not want
 * to know anything about it. This is why GSL chooses to compute
 * only on the principal branch.

 * If theta is identically zero, the imaginary part is computed
 * as if approaching from y > 0. For other values of theta no
 * special consideration is given, since it is assumed that
 * no other machine representations of multiples of pi will
 * produce y = 0 precisely. This assumption depends on some
 * subtle properties of the machine arithmetic, such as
 * correct rounding and monotonicity of the underlying
 * implementation of sin() and cos().
 *
 * This function is ok, but the interface is confusing since
 * it makes it appear that the branch structure is resolved.
 * Furthermore the handling of values close to the branch
 * cut is subtle. Perhap this interface should be deprecated.
