 `quantile()` creates an object of type
 `inverse_gaussian_quantile_functor<RealType>`, the constructor of which
 expects an argument of type `inverse_gaussian_distribution<RealType,
 policies::policy<> >`. Therefore, `quantile()` cannot be used with a
 custom policy, because `inverse_gaussian_distribution<RealType, Policy>`
 cannot usually be cast to `inverse_gaussian_distribution<RealType,
 policies::policy<> >`.

 Example:
 {{{
 #include <boost/math/distributions/inverse_gaussian.hpp>

 using namespace boost::math;
 using namespace boost::math::policies;

 typedef policy<
     domain_error<errno_on_error>
 > my_policy;

 int main() {
     quantile(inverse_gaussian_distribution<double, my_policy>(), .5);
 }
 }}}
