If putting special value tables near function is preferable,
(as before) probably this patch helps.

[mdickinson]

I'm actually pretty happy with the tables the way they are; everything's
working at the moment, and the current code seems clear enough.

Do you have a strong reason to want this change?

[ocean-city]

Nope, I don't have strong reason. I just thought exceeding 80 line width
is a little ugly, and if data and function are close you can refer both
more easily. Please feel free to close this entry as "WONT FIX".

[mdickinson]

I agree that having lines >= 80 characters long is ugly (and violates PEP-7). But I think this particular case falls under the 'rules are made to
be broken' comment at the start of PEP-7.

I like the fact that if you squint at the tables hard enough, each one
looks almost like a copy of the complex plane. :-).
