+extrapolates a given function @code{f(x)} to @code{f(x0)}, evaluating @code{f}
+only at a geometric sequence of points @code{> x0} (or optionally @code{<
+x0}).  The key algorithm is Richardson extrapolation using a Neville–Aitken
+tableau, which adaptively increases the degree of an extrapolation polynomial
+until convergence is achieved to a desired tolerance (or convergence stalls
+due to e.g. floating-point errors).  This allows one to obtain @code{f(x0)} to
+high-order accuracy, assuming that @code{f(x0+h)} has a Taylor series or some
+other power series in @code{h}.")
