/// Example macro describing how to use the special mathematical functions
/// taking full advantage of the precision and speed of the C99 compliant
/// environments. To execute the macro type in:
///
/// ~~~{.cpp}
/// root[0] .x mathcoreSpecFunc.C
/// ~~~
///
/// It will create two canvases:
///
///   1. one with the representation of the tgamma, lgamma, erf and erfc functions
///   2. one with the relative difference between the old ROOT versions and the
///      C99 implementation (on obsolete platform+compiler combinations which are
///      not C99 compliant it will call the original ROOT implementations, hence
///      the difference will be 0)
///
/// The naming and numbering of the functions is taken from
/// [Matt Austern, (Draft) Technical Report on Standard Library Extensions, N1687=04-0127, September 10, 2004](A HREF="http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2004/n1687.pdf")
