12448	The binomial implementation does a quotient of gamma values, which is wrong	Snark	AlexGhitza	"There are special formulas to apply for quotients of gamma values, since those quotients can be pretty reasonable even though the numerator and denominator are too big, for example:
{{{
sage: binomial(float(1000),float(1001))
nan
sage: binomial(1000,1001)
0
}}}
and:
{{{
sage: binomial(float(1001),float(1000))
nan
sage: binomial(1001,1000)
1001
}}}
