## usage: gammai (a, x)
##
## Computes the incomplete gamma function
##
##    gammai(a, x) 
##      = (integral from 0 to x of exp(-t) t^(a-1) dt) / gamma(a).
##
## If a is scalar, then gammai(a, x) is returned for each element of x
## and vice versa.
##
## If neither a nor x is scalar, the sizes of a and x must agree, and
## gammai is applied pointwise.
