%N Decimal expansion of the constant 8*exp(psi(7/8) + EulerGamma), where EulerGamma is the Euler-Mascheroni constant (A001620) and psi(x) is the digamma function.
%C This constant appears in _Benoit Cloitre_'s generalized Euler-Gauss formula for the Gamma function (see Cloitre link) and is involved in the exact determination of asymptotic limits of certain order-8 linear recursions with varying coefficients (see A097682 for example).
