Is this really the way the GSL is supposed to be used? It seems
awfully inefficient, making more function calls than the typical three
that are required for an O(h^2) centred difference 2nd derivative. By
my count, using the GSL as suggested above would require six function
calls, and probably would have a different order of precision.

I'm confused,
