   [...] the real answer to such problems is to focus the numerical method
   more precisely in terms of the detailed behaviour of the function. [...]

   However, I agree that in any computational package it is necessary for the
   user to know how procedures work [...]

That is what I meant, probably :).  Specifically: if I want to
integrate a gaussian with average M and sigma S from 0 to Inf, what is
the best method in octave?  Or at least what is a reasonable method in
octave?  No hint is given in the documentation to answer this problem.
