Milestone:  Boost 1.39.0         |   Component:  math

---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 There is a minor bug in the synoposis of the incomplete beta function
 documentation. Specifically the #include is for the gamma function. See
 e.g.

 http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_38_0/libs/math/doc/sf_and_dist/html/math_toolkit/special/sf_beta/ibeta_function.html


 If you do use this include blindly the result error is a link error
 (presumably the gamma function sees a forward declaration of the beta
 function somewhere), which is relatively confusing when one is used to
 Boost.Math being mostly a header-only library.
