      Constrains: Evaluators may restrict the evaluation to integer values for the order N.

      The BESSELJ function ( section 6.16.13 in ODF1.3 draft) has the Constraints "N >= 0, INT(N)=N; Evaluators may evaluate expressions where N >= 0 returns a non-error value."

      But the order N need not be non-negative, there exists reflection formulae. And the order N need not be integer, fractional order, especially half-integer is used too.
