// Algorithm kahan_sum_series invokes Functor func until the N'th
// term is too small to have any effect on the total, the terms
// are added using the Kahan summation method.
//
// CAUTION: Optimizing compilers combined with extended-precision
// machine registers conspire to render this algorithm partly broken:
// double rounding of intermediate terms (first to a long double machine
// register, and then to a double result) cause the rounding error computed
// by the algorithm to be off by up to 1ulp.  However this occurs rarely, and
// in any case the result is still much better than a naive summation.
