Fixed typo
Jun 8, 2015 at 5:49 comment added J. M.'s missing motivation This is pretty clever! I know for a fact that the hypergeometric functions in Mathematica were carefully written to be able to deal with arguments at or near $1$, and this carefulness is exploited here to compute $\log(1+x)$. For expm1, x MittagLefflerE[1, 2, x] works as well.
