None of the above.
This is just hilarious -- I wrote them!! You can download them from the 
'mathextra' project on dsource. I had no idea they were in phobos.lib, 
but it explains why I've had some really weird linking errors...

etc.gamma is actually mentioned in the docs for std.math.gamma, so it's 
clearly supposed to be included. But 'realtest.d' contains the first 
lines of D that I ever wrote (It started life as "hello world"). The 
first line of it is a comment that it's not intended to be part of a 
standard library. I'm stunned to discover that it's been in phobos all 
this time. Guess I better tidy it up.
