Description
Flag naive implementations (like incomplete beta derivatives) in the manual.
Ideally, characterize at what points in the domain functions are stable for.
Make sure that iterative functions have finite bounds and throw exceptions if they don't converge.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the manual entries for numerical functions, including the incomplete beta derivatives mentioned in the issue. Identify the iterative functions that need convergence limits and the domain regions whose stability should be characterized. Done means the relevant functions are classified in the manual and non-converging iterations have finite bounds with exceptions.
