Hi Joel,

I wonder if you could take a look at this old pull request:

https://github.com/cbm755/octsympy/pull/425

My feeling is drop this but I thought you might offer a perspective after your summer project.

Background: the symbolic package inherited a bunch of code from the specfun pkg. This included "sinint" and "cosint" implementations. They were not very good so I replaced them [1] with rather slow, nonvectorized calls to the SymPy (ultimately the arbitrary precision python library "mpmath"). The PR is the original specfun code, with a few failing tests added by me.
