 * DESCRIPTION
 *
 *    The t density is evaluated as
 *         sqrt(n/2) / ((n+1)/2) * Gamma((n+3)/2) / Gamma((n+2)/2).
 *             * (1+x^2/n)^(-n/2)
 *             / sqrt( 2 pi (1+x^2/n) )
 *
 *    This form leads to a stable computation for all
 *    values of n, including n -> 0 and n -> infinity.
