I guess legendre_sphPlm_array could be handled using the array 
templates. IIRC deprecated functions like legendre_sphPlm_array aren't 
available in the GSL library unless it has been compiled with the 
necessary flags.. which is why I needed to write a patch in Fedora that 
I imported very first thing.

Handling legendre_array by templates isn't as straightforward, because 
the API uses function specific enum's, so one would need to make up new 
templates for that function.
