I thought we had gone away from the concept of "pole" error to be more a
generic singularity. Jerome is the expert.
Also, how about:
"Invalid" being raised is generally a domain error
I have a sneaky suspicion there are one or two cases where it is not
strictly a domain but I cannot recall off the top of my head. I will
double check.
