Hello.

I suggest not to do such things in a backend.
If we put it into a backend then we have a lot of
duplicate work that is not necessary.

In opposite, we should remove several functions from the
backends (emulated ananlog gamma functions etc).

May be it would be interesting to put such things in a meta backend,
then this has to be writte once and looks the same for all backends.

Bye
Oliver
