[template optional_policy[] 
The final __Policy argument is optional and can be used to
control the behaviour of the function: how it handles errors, 
what level of precision to use etc.  Refer to the 
[link math_toolkit.policy policy documentation for more details].]

[template discrete_quantile_warning[NAME]
[caution
The [NAME] distribution is a discrete distribution: internally
functions like the `cdf` and `pdf` are treated "as if" they are continuous 
functions, but in reality the results returned from these functions
only have meaning if an integer value is provided for the random variate 
argument.

The quantile function will by default return an integer result that has been
/rounded outwards/.  That is to say lower quantiles (where the probability is
less than 0.5) are rounded downward, and upper quantiles (where the probability
is greater than 0.5) are rounded upwards.  This behaviour
ensures that if an X% quantile is requested, then /at least/ the requested
coverage will be present in the central region, and /no more than/
the requested coverage will be present in the tails.

This behaviour can be changed so that the quantile functions are rounded
differently, or even return a real-valued result using 
[link math_toolkit.policy.pol_overview Policies].  It is strongly
recommended that you read the tutorial 
[link math_toolkit.policy.pol_tutorial.understand_dis_quant
Understanding Quantiles of Discrete Distributions] before
using the quantile function on the [NAME] distribution.  The
[link math_toolkit.policy.pol_ref.discrete_quant_ref reference docs] 
describe how to change the rounding policy
for these distributions.
