Merging JacobiElliptic with SpecialFunctions

[dominic-chang]

I'm the current maintainer of JacobiElliptic. Your project was brought to my attention recently, and I was thinking that it would be better for the community for me to merge my implementations of the Elliptic integral functions and their inverses into SpecialFunctions. I notice that you have implementations of the some of the Fukushima set of algorithms. I have already implemented the remainder of the complete and incomplete Jacobi Integral functions, which I'm happy migrate into this code base and remove from my own.

merge my implementations of the Elliptic integral functions and their inverses into SpecialFunctions.

Thank you for reaching out and for maintaining JacobiElliptic.jl!

Regarding merging your implementations of the Elliptic integral functions and their inverses into SpecialFunctions, I'd suggest reviewing the discussions in #409 first, as there may be relevant context there.

One alternative approach could be to add JacobiElliptic.jl as a dependency of SpecialFunctions.jl rather than directly merging the implementations. This would help maintain modularity while still making the functionality available to users.

Additionally, if package maintenance is becoming too time-consuming, another option would be to transfer JacobiElliptic.jl to the JuliaMath organization. This could help ensure continued maintenance and better integration with the ecosystem.

After reviewing the discussion #409, I think you're right that transferring JacobiElliptic to the JuliaMath organization is probably the most appropriate move. I do, however, think that we should at least split off the Fukushima set of algorithm's and include them as a dependency for SpecialFunctions since there is a more complete set of implementations there, and that those are what are included in SpecialFunctions

All of the work by Toshio Fukushima is of the highest quality and exceeds alternate approaches in performant accuracy. We should do more to bring his computational mathematics into Special Functions. Best, Jeffrey

Is there a procedure for me to be added to the organization, or for t he repo to be added?

Happy to help. Usually the easiest way to transfer a repo is:

1. @dominic-chang transfers the repo to an org owner, in this case me.
2. I transfer the repo into the org.
3. I then restore @dominic-chang's admin permissions on the repo.
