##--------> consequence of the above experiments:
## the 2nd form is numerically "uniformly better" than the first
##--------> 2011-05-27:  Change Frank's psiInv() to
## psiInv = function(t,theta)
##     -log1p(exp(-theta)*expm1((1-t)*theta)/expm1(-theta))

##--- In the following block, in the first line, C-c C-c did *NOT* behave

th <- 48 # now do ls() and see what happened ... the horror !!!
d <- 3
cpF <- list("Frank", list(th, 1:d))

### Here, the bug (12.09-2, e.g.) has been that
### the function beginning is not found reliably:
### C-M-q -> should go to end; then C-M-a should go back to beginning (here)
