I looks nice but I'm a little bit lost. Gsl have 10 hypergeometric functions:

hyperg_0F1(c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
*hyperg_1F1_int(m, n, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
*hyperg_1F1(a, b, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
**hyperg_U_int(m, n, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
*hyperg_U(a, b, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1(a, b, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1_conj(aR, aI, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1_renorm(a, b, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
hyperg_2F1_conj_renorm(aR, aI, c, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)
*hyperg_2F0(a, b, x, give=FALSE, strict=TRUE)

* functions with the same number of parameters
** functions with the swame number of parameters and types (a,b,c,x<-
integer, m,n<- real)
genhypergeo(c(1, 1+size+floor(q[i]), 1+param$b+floor(q[i])),
c(2+floor(q[i]),1+size+param$a+param$b+floor(q[i])), 1)
genhypergeo(c(int, int, real), c(int,real), 1)

I picked the hyperg_U_int(c(1,2,2.5),c(2,3.1),1) but this give a
vector of three numbers and a warning. I'm not mathematician and this
seems to much for me. Which function is the equivalent to
Mathematica's HypergeometricPQF [1,2]?

I would like to but with the dependences I don't think it will fit
R-base. Is there any package who want to include these distributions
(BB and BNB)?
