---------------------------------------------+------------------------------
 The following raises an exception, but from the documentation it appears
 that it should be a valid call:

   quantile(binomial_distribution<double>(10, 1), 1.0f - (0.0001f)));

 The exception says:

   Error in function boost::math::cdf(binomial_distribution<d> const&, d):
 Number of Successes argument is -nan, but must be >= 0 !
