I noticed, when porting real_roots.c to Java as part of
arb4j that there are two bisection steps before the Newton factor is calculated, but the factor is calculated using the interval from the first bisection and disregards the second bisection so its essentually a no-op/wasted cycle so I assume this is a bug and why that part of the code is labeled experimental.
