[Help-gsl] Another reference manual comment

The reference manual page for complete Fermi-Dirac Integrals F_j(x)

http://www.gnu.org/software/gsl/manual/html_node/Complete-Fermi_002dDirac-Integrals.html

Second line after heading reads

  F_j(x)   := (1/r\Gamma(j+1)) \int_0^\infty dt (t^j / (\exp(t-x) + 1))

Should read 

 F_j(x)   := (1/\Gamma(j+1)) \int_0^\infty dt (t^j / (\exp(t-x) + 1))

 (omit "r")

Maybe an additional comment could be placed after
this line, something like:

"Attention, this definition differs from definitions often found
in theoretical physics textbooks, where the prefactor
1/\Gamma(j+1) is omitted."

Thank you.
