[SpecialFunctions](https://github.com/JuliaMath/SpecialFunctions.jl) does have the `gamma` function but I cannot find it mentioned in the [documentation](http://juliamath.github.io/SpecialFunctions.jl/stable/)

Was I bad at searching or is that really the case?

Seems like a correct observation. Maybe you can contribute to the documentation?
