In fact, while they are used in statistics, they are not even \"statistical\" functions since other fields make ample use of them. Cf #20; these functions are useful for the end user directly, without requiring an interface like Distributions.jl.\r\n\r\nI propose `LogExpFunctions.jl` as a package name. If the discussion suggests this makes sense, I would be happy to do a PR. \r\n\r\n"}}
