Orthogonal polynomials in gsl/poly

[Richard Mathar <mathar at strw dot leidenuniv dot nl>]

It would be useful, given the general importance of orthogonal polynomials
in applications, to have some shortcuts to evaluate the most important
ones in "by name" in  the subdirectory poly, instead of defining them by
a list of values that are interpolated.
A proposal/implementation for the Hermite, Laguerre and Chebyshev polynomials
is attached. I can implement more of these if this finds support.
