[math-fun] Li(x), Ramanujan formula

Incomplete investigation suggests that Ei(x) = EulerMascheroniGamma + ln(x) + exp(R*x) * SUM(n>0) c[n] * x^n converges fastest (in the sense the |c[n]| shrink the fastest asymptotically) when R=1/2, Ramanujan's choice -- or if 1/2 is not optimum, it seems nearly optimum.
